Title: A disappointing effort
Product review: I've loved every book Dan Simmons has written--until now. While "Hardcase" is a fairly enjoyable thriller, it's yawningly predictable and simply not a worthy effort for a writer of Simmons' talents. But it's surely a matter of expectations--go into this one expecting a standard P.I. vs. the Mafia story, and you'll probably enjoy it. But if you're looking for something that measures up to his previous work, this ain't it.
