Review title: The Worst!
Product review: This so called novel (actually I think it was a recycled outline for a comic book that got rejected) is no doubt the worst book I have read in memory. Ever! The research must have consisted of a quick scan of an online encyclopedia article. The gun was mentioned by others. And cave painting in grottos of stalagtites/mites--sorry, way too wet (maybe watercolors?). Plus, the remote area above treeline precludes all the giant bonfires! The 'characters', ugha ugha. And there was no 'Clinton' character or was that Van??? Hmmm...I will give a 10, better yet an 11, to the agent, though. Anyone who can sell abject garbage like this 'book' for the no doubt stratospheric $$$ entailed--well, I haven't heard of any bridges changing hands. Yet.Save your money. 'Dr. Strangelove meets the Yeti', oops, I mean 'Neanderthal' doesn't work. Fortunately, Mr. Speilberg can afford a good rewrite (hopefully Darnton will be covering a breaking story in, oh, say Tajikistan or even Scotland).
