Title: Pale imitation of his former genius
Review: This book involves the confusing story of two Americans trapped in a nameless Central American country during a generic revolution, seeking love and purpose. Unfortunately, it lacks the energy and narrative power of Smith's great earlier works - Death of the Detective, the Middleman and Toyland, now all out of print. Don't waste your time reading this pale imitation of Smith's former genius.
