Title: Very disappointing
Product review: Rarely can a book have started off so well and yet ended so ridiculously. The first third of the book shows Harris at his best, conjuring up an atmosphere of suspense while skilfully interweaving the results of his prodigious homework. Who could not be enthralled by the idea of Stalin's secret notebook coming to light after 50 years? Up until the moment when our two heroes set off for the northern city of Archangel all is going fine. But then -- and I can't say much more for fear of giving away the most critical element of the plot -- the storyline suddenly veers off into the simply unbelieveable. It is hard to believe that the author who produced Fatherland could have lost the plot so entirely. The last two chapters are insultingly bad
