Title: The Characters are Cartoonish
Review: I have read most of Jack Higgins' books, and he has been one of my favorite authors back to high school (over 20 years). I have enjoyed his older books and new books, and purchase them almost immediately upon publication. Unfortuntately, Day of Reckoning is terrible. The story lines and sub-plots are full of cliche's, and the characters are cartoonish. No one is likable in this book, or believable. It almost seems like a knock- off author tried to write this book and pass it off as a Higgins work. As much as I like Higgins and the Sean Dillon character, this book is not worth the time it took to read it. The only plus to the book is that it is a fast read, much like a bad comic book.
