Title: Disappointing
Review: I'm an English professor, and I hate it when my students say things like "this book was too long. It could have been 100 pages shorter and said the same thing." Well, this book could have been about 400 pages shorter. You can see every plot twist coming from a mile away. Myriad trips to various locales don't add substantially to the plot or provide significant historical background. The characters are practically caricatures: all of the villains are dressed in black; the leading man and the woman hate each other at first, and then (shockingly) fall for each other; the communist bureaucrats are lifeless; exotic but benevolent "helpers" appear along the way. I'm more angry with myself than anyone else for sticking with this book to the bitter and inconsequential end.
