Title: It's like reading mud.
Review: While we all love a good yarn, full of adventure, Brown's prose is like slogging through quicksand. With cliches. It's totally unbelievable and poorly written on a literary level. It got me to the end, and I was curious to see how it turned out. It turns out preposterously. If you like serious literature, skip it. If you aren't very picky about the quality of the language - only a decent story to while away the hours - then ok. Go for it. Speaking of "The Hours", you should read that instead.
