Negative Positive
Title: Where is this country?
Review: Being from San Sebastián and living in Madrid, I was immediately drawn to this book when I saw that the action starts in these two cities. I finished the first 100 pages out of curiosity, the rest of the book out of sheer masochism.The story is poor and full of stereotypes, the "historical facts" are wrong, the research was done without leaving the plane at the Barajas airport, and the characters are from a Scooby Doo cartoon (my favourites are the fisherman and the priest)...even at some points the book turns completely "kitsch" (asking a shepherd for directions in San Sebastian??).There is not worse lie than a half-truth, and the book is full of them. I know it is just a novel, but I expected a bit more refinement from Mr. Clancy et al.
Is the review positive or negative?
