Negative Positive
Title: disappointing and in bad need of a editor
Review: If you're expecting a "Ryan as President" novel to stand with the first two, you're going to be mistaken. The good start is thrown away as the next 300+ pages ramble exhaustively - and pointlessly as tho Clancey gets paid by the page. Where were the editors?? Do we REALLY need to read page after page of Ryan's thoughts on why he hates being President or Noumouri's thoughts on seducing a secretary? No. 19th century novels are models of concision by comparison. He also much have discovered the word "f**k" since he uses it at every opportunity. As Clancey's vocabulary atrophied along with his creativity? It appears so.Bottom line: don't waste your money. If you MUST HAVE this novel, it should be on the clearance tables by Christmas.
Is the review positive or negative?
