Title: Most Boring Book Award
Product review: This book was our latest book group selection. Sounded like it SHOULD have been good, but it was so boring I couldn't finish, and I don't give up easily. Perhaps his other work is better, but I don't think I'll ever find out, being too scared off by this one. One longs for the directness of vintage Elmore Leonard--like GET TO THE POINT. Thin little plot and endless circuitous passages unfolding in an unnecessarily confusing way. You don't even get much feeling about Istanbul, perhaps the saddest thing of all. Don't waste your time on this one.
