Negative Positive
Title: Ordinary novel from overpraised author
Review: My second attempt to like Seymour, as did my first, failed.The reviewers who compare Seymour to LeCarre and Greene surely cannot have read much of either. Seymour is more a writer of thrillers, more Clancy-like,than either LeCarre or Greene. Both of the latter write something very close to literature; Seymour (or Clancy for that matter)never come close to that level. His plots are intriging, even at times exciting, but his people portraits rarely more than caricatures.
Is the review positive or negative?
