Review title: phoned it in?
Product review: I have read virtually everything that Mr. Martini has produced. His earlier stuff was good to very good, but, here, I get the feeling that he was writing just to fulfill a publishing contract or something. This is not his best work, and I had the feeling that he just, to use that overworked phrase, 'phoned it in.' He has great potential, but he just does not live up to it here. Take no offense, sir. I quit reading John Grisham for the same reason. All 'pop,' no 'culture.'
