Title: A Serious Disappointment
Review: I've read so much good about this book. I'm a reader who trusts my own tastes and I read this one all the way to the bitter end. It is a serious disappointment because the hoopla and hype are not anything like what is in the covers here. I'm not immune to seeing the Mideast conflict from many points of view. But I am immune to poor prose, what is here, I regret to say, in almost every page. Bad dialogue. Poor characterizations. I've really nothing positive to say about this novel, except I hope that Ms. Wilentz goes back to non-fiction.
