Negative Positive
Title: disappointing
Review: Hoover's choice of international financial manipulation as subject matter for this novel is timely and raised my expectations. Instead most of the story is pulpy romance surrounding a contrived conflict between Japanese investors scheming to revive Imperial Japan and American regulators intent on saving the free world. The only thing missing from this "B" grade movie plot are black and white hats to differentiate the bad guys from the good guys. Not at all what I had hoped for.
Is the review positive or negative?
