Title: awful kitsch
Product review: Hamilton offers only stock characters & stereotypical incidents. This skims the surfaces but gives little sense of lived experience, in spite of the author's background. Though filled with equal measures of sex and violence, the novel simply fails to engage the reader, in spite of the promising early pages.Readers seeking a richly written, thoroughly gripping and truly authentic portrait of the Middle East, should turn to Robert Stone's wonderful novel "Damascus Gate" instead.
