Title: Tends to grate after a while
Review: When I initially began reading this book I felt compassion for the Cohens. It is the same compassion that I feel for the many other victims of this bombing. It is the same compassion that I feel for all who fall victims to tragedy. But about halfway through my sense of compassion for these parents began to wane. Their daughter was obviously a fine, beautiful young woman and they have every right to grieve for the rest of their lives. But there is such a thing as dignity. The Cohens use this book as an opportunity to vent a series of spiteful and mean spirited attacks. Fine. Some of their targets deserve it. But what is truly appalling (and what lost them my sympathy) is their attitude toward the town of Lockerbie and toward some of the families of the other victims of this disaster.Hatred, vengeance, and bitterness are emotions that are more poisonous than cyanide. And the Cohens certainly prove that.This is a book to avoid.
