Title: Highly Overrated - Ignore The Hype
Product review: I am surprised by all the 5 star reviews. I found the book not only to be ridiculously implausible, but poorly executed. The characters are cliched, cardboard cutouts with no nuances and the dialogue is bad b-movie stuff. The author jumps back and forth way too much. There's too much happening, and it's all so melodramatic and poorly executed I just wish it would stop. I just finished Iles' most recent work, "Blood Memory" and thought it was very good. I'd wager that the author, if he is honest, is now embarassed by Spandau Phoenix.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
