Title: Nice try, no cigar...
Product review: I'm not surprised to hear that this was Evan's first novel. While some first novels are destined for greatness, this isn't one of them. It's mind candy that leaves a sour aftertaste. The plot is predictable and plodding. The characters would be right at home on the daytime soaps. And the ending? It's laughable at best. For Redford's sake, I hope the movie isn't as boring. From the trailers I've seen, though, I think I'll skip it. The book was bad enough.
