Negative Positive
Title: Interesting premise, uneven plot, disappointing conclusion
Review: When you read the jacket description of this book, KANE AND ABEL by Jeffrey Archer immediately springs to mind. If only A GOD IN RUINS lived up to the quality of Archer's seminal work. Unfortunately, the promising summary gives way to an uneven book that ends feebly. Uris leaves astonishingly large gaps in the narrative, weaves in and out of first person for much of the first half of the book, and ultimately ends the story very weakly. For a writer of his talent, the novel is uneven and disappointing.
