Title: "Is it just me?"
Review: I got 80 pages into this book, and on every page, I kept thinking "Is it just me? Or is something seriously wrong with this book? How can I get so doggone IRRITATED with a book written by LEON URIS??"Well, after reading other people's comments here, I realize: It's not just me! This book really IS embarrassingly bad!Unlike some of the commenters, who say the novel breaks down halfway through, I would say it's weird from the very start. These characters do not seem real at all, the plot seems implausible, and there's something about his writing style in this book that strikes me as just plain GOOFY.I won't waste my time forcing myself to read this clunker to the end. I'll quit now and cut my losses.Full disclosure: I'm particularly choosy and hard-to-please right now because I recently read Tom Wolfe's "Bonfire of the Vanities"--one of the sharpest, most on-target, fun, exciting books I've ever read. Probably anything following on that book's heels is going to feel like a let-down!
