Title: Disappointed With This Rambling Novel
Product review: I listened to the audio cassette abridgement of this novel, but I can't imagine the unabridged version would be much better. I listened to the first side of cassette one and yawned, hoped the next side would be better - and then the next cassette and the next. I was disappointed. Not much of an ending - obviously setting up for (hopefully more and better) action in future novels in the series.This is my first Griffin novel and most likely my last. "Stuff" happens, but nothing very interesting. It made me think differently about the early battle for the Philippines; that was the most I got out of this book. I didn't really care what happened to the main characters - lots of drinking, lots of sex - so what? Even with historical figures like Roosevelt, MacArthur, and Donovan, I just didn't care what happened. I finished the book hoping it would get better, and it didn't. If you want a good World War Two novel, stick with Alistair MacLean.
