Title: A Sad Farewell to Leon Uris
Review: `A God In Ruins' indeed. Leon Uris' latest work -- perhaps an indication that he is the god in ruins. I grew up on Leon Uris and came, over the course of three decades, to revel in his attention to detail, his grounding in truth, his objectivity and his ability to weave a tale that had a point and yet did not preach. In 'A God In Ruins', Uris has become a one-eye-blind street preacher, sermonizing the book away through barely possible characters, a semi-credible plot and a set of issues that, although important, do not justify the context of the book. As though to add insult to injury, the book is full of little errors -- ridiculous things such as Eastern time being three hours behind Pacific.I bid sad farewell to Mr. Uris' work, hoping only that I can revisit `Battle Cry' in all its glory un-tainted.
