Title: Nothing original here
Product review: I really don't understand all the good reviews here. I thought this novel was poorly written, unimaginative, unoriginal, and cliched. If you want an honest review, check out the New York Times "Books in Brief" review. It was obvious in the first chapter who the diabolical mastermind was - so there never was much of a mystery. I also found a great deal of the book almost insulting in its implausibility. The only reason I finished the book at all was to be able to say with full knowledge, that it has no redeeming qualities. I gave it two stars instead of one only because, I'm sure worse books have been written - so I'm grading on a curve.
