Review title: Powerful Story, Terrible Writing
Product review: While the story told in this book is indeed powerful and an interesting look at a part of the world most of us know entirely too little about, wow is the writing weak. I could barely finish the book and I rarely fail to finish a book (I did eventually slog through it, but had to skim in parts). It is truly unfortunate that this story was written by someone who seemed to have taken his cues from bad mystery novels or Harlequin romance novels. The prose was clunky, repetitive and at times laughable (particularly in the "romance" scenes between Greg and his wife). There are so many good non-fictions writers writing today, both in books and magazines, that it should have been easy for the publisher to find someone whose skills were up to the scope of the story.
