Title: Don't Bother
Product review: The plot concept in this book is interesting, but the execution falls flat. Blackthorn should have stuck to writing a political treatise if he wanted to share his ideas, instead of insulting the memory of a dead man by putting extremely unlikely words into his mouth.Blackthorn is not a very good writer. The action is stilted and sometimes confusing, the dialog isn't believable, and his metaphors are truly awful. The characters are one-dimensional, and the reader knows exactly what will happen at the end of the book from the very first page. It's cliched and almost boring.In short, if you're interested in the revolution and Cuba, read a biography of Che. If you want to hear a painful rendition of Blackthorn's political ideals (based on Plato and Thomas Jefferson's conception of the "republic") - don't bother even then. Read Plato and Jefferson and spare yourself this book.
