Review title: View of a dissenting minority of one
Product review: I almost called a halt after the author's gratuitous sex scene and his silly and contrived caricature of a left-wing terrorist group, but I plodded on. And on. I always try to get at least the first 100 pages under my belt before I draw a conclusion. As I turned the pages faster and faster, I realize I was bored silly by the laborious descriptions and the tedious dialogue. I figured the remaining 200+ pages would probably be no different. Perhaps all these enthusiastic reviewers have more patience than I do, but I'm still a bit surprised that so many people wanted to wade through this literary swamp populated by a most unsympathetic character.
