Title: Big bang that fizzled into nothing...
Review: The plot was fairly predictable after the first two chapters. The ending had no credibility, and I bet even the screenplay becomes more sardonic. I decided to read the entire book before buying it and it was the right decision. The person who wrote this book is not the same person who wrote The Firm. That book had attention to detail and character development that is just nonexistent in The Brethren. I guess commercial success leads one to write fluff in exchange for the next advance check!
