Review title: Long on tease; short on payoff
Product review: It took me EIGHT weeks to read this book. If I were not a chess enthusiast, I probably would have given up early, but I kept looking for a payoff involving some grand chess theme. That never happened. I didn't have any problem with Neville's writing style, as some reviewers did, but I found it impossible to keep up with the jumble of French and Arab names of characters and towns. In summary, I gave the book a low rating because it raised questions that were never satisfactorily answered.
