Review title: Mr. Conspiracy writes a melodrama
Product review: This is the third book by Robert Ludlum that I have endured. Ludlum finds a conspiracy in everything, apparently, and this book is no exception. The dialogue reminds me of conversation one can hear on the late late show from '30's and '40's movies. Some of it is so bad it's funny. See the villain threaten the flawed hero (otherwise known as the "field accountant"). See the heroine mistreated by the villain. See the villain go over to the other side, become powerful and vindictive and murderous, without any motivation at all! You too can read about Snidely Whiplash and Nell, in 354 pages of melodramatic muck. And it's even worse on audio: Ludlum's flaws are magnified.
