Title: Badly written, flat characters--need I say more?
Product review: At the very least, Ludlum should offer a public apology for this poor excuse for modern fiction. Characters don't tell each other something: they roar, they shout, and they generally overreact to every little thing. Come to think of it, Ludlum's editor(s) should offer an apology as well. The characters are one-dimensional, and I found myself cheering on the Matarese, hoping against hope that they would win out against the incompetent agents Ludlum has sent after them. Reading this book was like having your car stall on the railroad tracks; you can see the train coming, but you just can't move out of the way. Save your money.
