Title: Too Much Information
Review: This book started off great with an intriquing prison break and a demented vengeful James Bond type villian but veered off course quickly. The characters were uninteresting except for the ex-spy. The dialogue had the same voice. The prose was bland and the flow of the book was halted by arcane details. It seemed like a poor imitation of a Michael Critchon or Ludlum book - they were the masters at intreweaving facts and details with the story. The story was totally predictable and the major twist with the lead FBI character was hacky and unoriginal. The only fun part was that the book was written in 1996 and technology has changed so much since then. People talking about pagers, CD-Roms and Walkmans and a computer being so advanced because it has one whole gigabyte of memory was kind of funny.
