Title: Maybe I Remember "Exodus" through Rose-Colored Glasses
Review: As a teen, I was captivated by "Exodus' and devoured "Mila 18" and a few other Uris novels in a matter of days. What a disappointment then to read "A God in Ruins." A convoluted story with dialogue that hardly ever sounds real. I'd prefer to remember "Exodus' as being wonderful rather than re-reading it. Uris has the name, the track-record and therefore the ability to to deliver for a publisher. However,I suspect that even Quinn Patrick O'Connell, the central character in this "read-it-on-the-beach-only-if-nothing-else is-available" novel would have had the integrity to have passed on the opportunity to publish this.
