Negative Positive
Title: Wooden dialogue, silly plotting, shabby characterization
Review: This book is a poor excuse for literature. None of it rings true. The Persian character is a stereotype, and his way of expressing himself is stilted and not credible. The plot is a mess. The characters are shallow and not believable. This is the equivalent of pulp fiction. Why read this when there are truly talented writers like Joyce Carol Oates and Kazuo Ishiguro plying their craft?
