Title: Half the book is ok -- just ok.
Product review: The half of the book set during WW-II isn't bad. Nothing amazing, but not bad. However, the contemporary part of the book, i.e. the The Obit man himself and his story is completely extraneous to the main plot. Apart from shoehorning in a reporter (the author's ego) into the plot, and giving him a variety of women to bed, it does nothing else. A story solely about the WW-II character, Mr. Foix, would have been far more interesting. Lastly, there are far too many typos in the book for it to have been reviewed professionally. IMHO, if you want a good WW-II story, try MacLean or Ludlum.
