Title: Interesting story, disappointing book
Review: There is no arguing that there is a fascinating story here -- I just hope someone will eventually write it. The writing in this book is clunky, and the book reads like an extended piece for a newsmagazine (which it may have been). The narrative thread is disjointed, and in several places I was left wanting more information.It is unfair to compare books to each other, but I read this book immediately following "Fourth Part of the World..." which is thematically related. "Fourth Part of the World" was a vastly better book.
Is the review positive or negative?
