Review title: Sounded Good, Read Terribly
Product review: Really, truly, profoundly awful.I wasn't expecting The Great Gatsby, but a light pleasant read in decent prose would have been nice. The terrible characterizations and bombastically offensive stereotyping make me wonder what rock the author has been hiding under. Some of this is passed off as the differences between us and our Forties ancestors, but that's just sophistry painting over incompetence.FYI, I did like the author's Draka books and am a great fan of alternative history. It's not the idea that I'm knocking, only the bad war movie implementation (the Italian, the Jew, the Southerner, etc).
