Title: Stinks
Review: This book stinks. It's a near identical rip of Fat Man and Little Boy, but with a lame fictional subplot of a murder mystery. The characters are very forgettable, the reason for being for some characters in the story is in doubt (the main character for one, the murder victim for another - a bad combo for a murder mystery). The author basically piggybacked a half baked short story into a pre-existing historical account to flesh it out to novel length, implausably working his main character into recorded historical events. Ignore this book, trust me, you won't care about the murder mystery or the characters. Rent Fat Man and Little Boy, it's far more interesting.
