Title: Yawned my way through it...I think it's a guy thing...
Product review: I have complained of this writing trait before: the author continually repeats the full names of the characters when you know perfectly well who they are. Tom Hart, Thomas Hart, Tommy Hart. And the Germans - believe me, dear author, I got their names the first, second and third times. It was quite tedious to have them fully repeated over and over. I don't care how many books an author has published, this is the kind of thing that is blatantly amateurish. Where are these "bestselling authors'" editors?Sentimental slop. So very tired of the Noble White Man who helps the Downtrodden Black Man. Blagh. Why did I read it? (didn't finish it, but must take responsibility for slogging through three-quarters). Guess I was mesmerized by its many flaws. I wanted to see how often this writer was allowed to bungle. It reminds me of the recent New Yorker cartoon where the publisher is saying to the hopeful writer: "Your book stinks. We want to publish it!"
