Title: Now I Know What the Hoax Is - Money Back Please!!!
Product review: How stupid does Tanenbaum think his readers are?? This series used to be one of the most sophisticated, character-driven, plot-rich series around, with sidebars of brainy, funny riffs on the nature of urban, rainbow living in NYC, insane bureaucracies and the compromise necessary to applying the law. Even when the coincidences piled on too deep, you didn't care because the writing was so good and the characters so compelling. The only exceptions were the times Gruber wasn't acknowledged in the front of the book.Now it's just one more cardboard character, idiotically plotted, oh-so-boring wastes of time. It killed any interest in Butch, Marlene, and all the rest. Shame on Tanenbaum! Shame on the greedy publisher and duped editor! Shame on the advance reviewers,who were totally asleep at the switch! Tanenbaum, get Gruber back or retire!
