Title: Beyond disappointing
Product review: Do I have to give this book even 1 star?I've read that Agatha Christie tired of Hercule P. and only continued to write mysteries featuring him because her fans demanded it. Ms Cornwell may be feeling the same boredom and thus attempted to stretch her literary powers in Isle of Dogs. It didn't work. Although she certainly is free to write whatever she pleases, we don't have to read it (and I found this book virtually impossible to read). Isle of Dogs is a sad attempt at some sort of humor which fails miserably. Carl Hiassen does not have to worry; Ms Cornwell simply illustrates how very bad what he does so well can be when done poorly! The talking crab scene mentioned by another reviewer is actually the best scene in the book-the rest is far worse!
