Title: a terrible disappointment
Review: I have just returned from a long holiday car trip with "God in Ruins" on 10 cassettes. I finished 5 and decided even radio would be better. I have read almost all Uris' other books, several twice, so I expected great things. Was I ever disappointed! The sex scenes were the fantasies of an old man, real bodice rippers--but utterly unbelievable. Then I was subjected to several chapters of Tom Clancyish war scenes with brains dripping off the ceiling, etc. Gratuitous gore! In short, it takes a really bad book for me not to finish it. It saddens me to see someone who has been so great fall so far. Where were his editors?
Is the review positive or negative?
