Title: A Lazy Author
Review: This book was poorly written, poorly constructed, and it was obvious the author did the bare minimum of research on all topics. I think reading the Wikipedia article on Guatemala would have provided more detail. The characters were wooden and non-sympathetic. The character motivations were either mystical or so two-dimensional that they were painful to read.It was obvious from the reading that the author had no idea what the plot of the book would be when he started writing. The historical flashbacks were largely pointless. The three plots in the book (politics, affair, archaeology) were disconnected and random. There was no tension in the book, just an inevitable plodding along, waiting for something to happen. Every opportunity to build it seems to have been wasted.All in all, not even a good airplane read.
