Title: The Gold Coast
Review: I'm an avid reader of both fiction and historical works. The Gold Coast by Nelson Demille is a 700+ page novel that was a 400 page work at best. Never have I read such a conglomeration of inane prattle that offered so little to the story line (such as it was). The main character developed by Demille is an immature reverse snob that never achieves adulthood. One reads on in the hope that the "hero" arrives -- he does not. Unless you are adevotee of sarcasm for sarcasm"s sake; this tome is a waste of time. I expected far better from an author of his high caliber.
