Title: Decent "adventure", but . . .
Product review: While the book was well-written, and there are certainly some exciting sequences, the book never really arrives anywhere.Phelan's heirs don't come across so much "evil" as they do as victims of circumstances (a man who, rather than give his children care and love, just gave them $5 million each when they turn 21; he then took pleasure in seeing them waste it). Rather than making the children the villains, they become (not quite) innocent victims--robbing the book of much of the conflict one might expect.Moreover, the last 100 pages peter to a close, without any real sense of urgency or drama.I read--and enjoyed--"The Pelican Brief." Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about "The Testament."
