Title: cool premise, "blah" book
Review: Now that I've read both Preston and Child as singular authors and coauthors, I now know Preston seems to be the backbone to Preston/Child's collaborative works. With "Death Match", Child developed an intriguing premise but failed to execute the story. Despite the promising premise, the story was actually BORING. It was slow-moving, the characters were "eh", and the end was predictable. It's unfortunate Child didn't have the insight to insert more conspiracy and intrigue, for the "long-awaited" answer to the deaths ended up being disappointingly simple and obvious. Hopefully Child's "Utopia" proves to be a more interesting read.
