Negative Positive
Title: Every character is cardboard but the brainless protag
Review: This novel would have better served its audience as a made-for-TV movie that haunted the nether regions of the dial and clock. As compelling as the plot aims to be, the idea that a CFO and a board member could successfully conspire to sell a giant global corporation out from under the CEO suggests the protagonist is too brainless for readers to care about and certainly incapable of pulling off the Disneyishly convenient resolution to all his business and criminal problems. I'll try another novel by Finder to see where all his positive reviews come from, but this one is filled with trite dialogue emerging from non-credible situations encountered by a protag who stumbles through far too many crises with the assistance of a sexy child prodigy rather than his own brain and spine.
Is the review positive or negative?
