Review title: A Good Plot Gone Bad
Product review: The Flanders Panel has an intriguing premise but I found it hard to read. The dialouge between the characters is unrealistic. Every comment by each character seems to be either part of some philosophical debate, usually pretentious or downright silly, or contains a reference to some historical or literary figure. It sounds like the characters are a bunch of professors, each trying to sound more intelligent than the other. Also, the comparisons of chess to life drone on endlessly. If you can get through the dialouge, the plot can be compelling at times. I found the ending, however, contrived and disappointing. Overall, I would not recommend this book.
