Negative Positive
Title: Bad book
Review: Total rubbish. Awkward dialog, jerky action, 2-dimensional characters, convenient coincidences strung together. Looks more the the very rough outline of the concept of a book project that was never finalized. Many ridiculous situations, including: the East Germans keep hands off the family farm; a character goes to a meeting with Saddam Hussein and the official car he's in--and his escort officers--are successfully waylayed by a bunch of street punks. Totalitarian regimes don't work like that. And there's lots of cliche-ridded stuff about loyal retainers who would willingly die for whoever it is they're willing to die for. I paid nothing for this book (got it as a gift), and it's probably worth less than that. Don't waste your money.
