Title: sick as a dog and stuck with this stinker
Review: Wish I could stand to watch a little more TV...I'm sick as a dog, and away from home; this "novel" is barely a step up from the chocolate bon-bon soap opera crowd's 'entertainment' standards.I'm not as technically-savvy as some of the others who've reviewed this book, but it's plain that the author knows nothing of administrative interactions. He fills out his characters and their habits, but for technical details he's no Tom Clancy. His understanding of Chinese and Russian cultures is stereotypical in the worst way, if not downright ignorant. His writing style is infantile; it's as if he adds detail as he goes because he's just remembered something important--it's like listening to a 6-year old tell you a movie plot.I gave up halfway through the book; god help me, soap operas are more intellectually stimulating...I'm gonna have to try the soaps again.
