Title: Boring - I couldn't wait for it to end
Review: While I have considered Nelson DeMille one of my favorite authors for years, I was incredibly disappointed with this book. There's not much of a plot and, while the main character is laugh-out-loud funny and sarcastic, the story, told as a narrative, misses a lot. Why is the Don so appealing to John & Susan? Why did what happened at the end happen? I just couldn't see it. Also, there's way too much description of places and history - so much so that my eyes tended to glaze over. Half way through the book (over 300 pages, at the halfway point), we had just gotten through introductions of the masses of people and into the basic "plot" of the story. Maybe that was my problem - there was no plot. I'm used to DeMille's books going somewhere - but this was much different. I'm so disappointed I don't know if I want to crack into the 3 other DeMille books that I haven't read yet.
Is the review positive or negative?
