Title: Disappointment
Review: I am a huge Burke fan. I have read them all, some a couple of times. BUT, this book was horrible. I started skimming the usual plush, rich, time/mood/place descriptions. Then I started skimming the anti-Bush, Farenheit 911 stuff. Then I started skimming the dacquiry seller as satan stuff. Then I started skimming the corporation as satan stuff. Then I was done with an uninteresting book. I still love Clete though. The opera embarrassment of the mafia guy was horrible--not good. Plus, hasn't Burke written these characters and story lines at least 10 times? If I'm going to reread the same stories, I'll go back to reread the first 5 or so in the series. OUTSTANDING. Gritty, hard, evocative, moody, dark, southern and quotable. Makes you want a po boy and dirty rice. Please go back podna, this way ain't forward.
