Negative Positive
Title: All the same
Review: If you've read one Maclean book, you've read them all (outside of the very earliest). Same plot used over and over, no suspense, carboard characterizations--and way, way, way overwritten (the books are padded beyond belief--if he wrote cleanly they would be reduced by two-thirds). Maclean himself said that he hated writing, churned out a book in about a month with one draft, and it shows. The later you read in his bibliography, the worse the books get.Don't bother.
Is the review positive or negative?
