Negative Positive
Title: Uninspired
Review: When I first purchased this book, I was looking forward to the same quality of story and detail that I had come to enjoy in Frey's previous books. Sadly, this book did not live up to those ideals in that there seemed to be an element missing from this work that was in previous works. On the whole, it's a decent quick read, but not quite the level that should have been expected from Frey. Some of the nagging points I found in this book dealt with specific Washington, DC area elements that should have been better researched in order to have been portrayed in a context that one would expect the characters to know. The old dictum of writing what you know stands true, and there are times where one questions the level of research that went into certain elements of this story because I was questioning them in light of my knowledge of the area. I reserve judgement for future works when I have read them, but if you are new to Frey, pick up one of his earlier books as a first read.
Is the review positive or negative?
