Review title: No Improvement
Product review: I have read most of DeMille novels. The early ones: Plum Island, the Gold Coast, the General's Daughter, and later, the Lion's Game, to mention a few, were all terrific and rated at least 4 stars. His later novels have really been disappointing.While John Corey is a real likeable character, DeMille, in this novel, stretches the limits of one's patience. Even the story line here is not very original. At over 400 pages long, this novel could easily have been condensed into a good short story, say 50-75 pages. The huge amount of useless dialague and descriptive material in this novel is just a waste of time and is to be skimmed over. How any one could rate it a 4 or 5 star, is really beyond me.
