Negative Positive
Title: Maybe 2.5 stars...
Review: This is my first James Lee Burke novel, and I won't lie, it will probably be my last. Although there were some parts of this book that kept me interested, and as a history buff, I was happy with its historical accuracy, there were also many parts that dragged. I also feel that the author used massive amounts of description to make the book longer--there were way too many similes and metaphors packing the pages. To top it all off, I think the end was extremely anti-climactic. Was it a terrible book? No. But I wouldn't strongly recommend it to anyone, either.
Is the review positive or negative?
