Negative Positive
Title: This isn't writing; this is publishing.
Review: My wife pushed me to read this, but this is probably the worse book I've ever read. Except for the detail (ie, a secretary explaining back-up tapes to Sidney), the plot and characters are much better suited for a comic book, rather than a novel.There is no character development, no theme, and no plot development. There are no hints as to why the character act the way they do. I didn't even like the characters, even the "good" ones I was supposed to like.Balducci and his agent wrote the book with story boards for the next movie in mind. That would explain why they thought it would be a great idea for an FBI agent to oggle a greiving widow immediately before her husband's funeral. And all the references to Sidney's "sexiness"...Bottom line: ...bad writing.
