Title: Montecino's getting better and better
Review: For those of you who liked "Crosskiller" you will almost certainly enjoy "Big Time." Set in Louisiana, the high seas, Brazil, and L.A., it spans the globe to give you the constant variety of a man relentlessly pursued. What makes this book better than "Crosskiller" is the convincing interplay between the protaganist and that teenybopper, sexpot, Madonna wanna-be Isabel. Montecino makes them work well, oh so well, together, and also convincingly pulls them apart. The book's only problem was its first 100 or so pages, which mainly consist of the protaganist being hysterical with himself ("I gotta get outta here!" etc. etc.). But enjoy, enjoy everything else. And for Brazilophiles there's even the added bonus of having the leading lady be a Brazilian. Que bom!
