Title: I shouldna bought it
Review: The typical airplane 'thriller', but on the long side, andunfortunately not thrilling. The author hates government,hates the French and the Chinese, and has an overdevelopedsense of sadism. The tone is flip/cool but the author lackseven the modest talent of an Ian Fleming to pull it off. Thehero is infallible, independently rich, and invariablyattractive to beautiful but dangerous women, which onlyadds to the dullness. There are much better books out there.It is a sign of trouble when the gushing inside-the-coverreviews are from Booklist, Library Journal, a few paid sources,and the Shreveport Onion-Harvester Monthly. It is hard tobelieve this was ever on an NYT best-seller list, but that'swhat they claim.
Is the review positive or negative?
