Title: Deceptively titled sleeping pill of a book
Product review: I'll usually sit out a bad book just for the sense of completion, but after 300 pages of 'Mexico' I needed a twelve-hour nap next to a bucket. Flat, ghost-like characters, and a snoozer plot about a sport I couldn't care less about (who would guess from the title it's about a couple of sleazy bull-fighters?!) had me dry-heaving at page 20. . .and it just kept getting worse. Half way through I did something I've only done twice in my life--I threw an unfinished book in the garbage.Almost anything by Michener is a great read. . .I say "almost" because of 'Mexico.'
