Title: Too Long For A Thriller
Review: This booked steadily moved from five stars to two as the pages kept climbing. Why and editor didn't shake off some of the excess to get to the heart of the story is beyond me, but as it is I had a hard time staying interested after the first three hundred and fifty pages or so. The other problem I had with the book is I didn't find Carter's protagonist particularly likable.So for me I had a hard time connecting with the guy much less investing in his dilemma. Consequently by the time the novel climaxed in a cinematic stand off, there was little surprise or interest. Streamlined this could've been a taut page turning thriller. There were just too many pages to turn to get to the thrill.
