Title: plot and characters are neither believeable nor plausible
Product review: As one who loves to read about Israel's heroic triumphs over the Arabs, I bought this book and drooled all the way home, just couldn't wait to devour it. The first few chapters were actually intriguing, very down-to-earth, and even funny -- if you're familiar with Israel's annoying bueaurcracy, the part about the tourist's troubles in getting his brand-new Porsche into the country should be amusing. Unfortunately, the plot eventually gets too close to being a cheap soap opera. I never actually finished the book because I simply could not stand the love affairs, the melodramaticism of the characters, the fact that they were all famous and good looking and important -- it was all too damn Hollywood. I was truly disappointed. What I thought would be an intriguing historical fiction novel turned into a mush of a romance. pulp fiction.
