Title: First Half Good, Last Half . . . Yawn
Product review: I was looking for a good substitute for Hagberg or Flannery when I picked this one up. And the accolades seemed to bless the novel. Makes me think there's payola alive in the review circles.I won't bore you with a synopsis, you've probably read one above. Suffice it to say the author uses one of the most tired plot twists since the end of the Second World War. The best parts of this novel are the segments where the slippery Neo-Nazi seduces an unsuspecting American clerk, most of which happens during the first half of the novel. The details of these encounters are scintilating indeed. But you can get that stuff from a Forum magazine if that's cup of tea. I felt cheated getting that from over 400 pages of what was supposed to be a "page-turning, gripping" thriller.
