Title: pretentious nonsense
Product review: Why does this Neville woman think that just some historicalname dropping and multinational myths collage put together make a bookworth its salt? (By the way, the only bit I liked was the one with her musings about salt)...I hold no doubts about her making her homework, but reading history does not guarantee that you'll be able to write a novel afterwards, and the plot of this one is just not there. The story is supposed to be a thriller, and it just doesn't work. The Behn family affairs were so unbelievable that they became boring halfway the book. Considering the success of it, it makes me think that the fans of this book have something in common with the people who gather in front of the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion to see the stars arrive: look, there is Hitler! Nero came too!...Pathetic.
