Title: An Unworthy Tale
Review: Robert Stone, one of my favorite authors, has written a novel which is clearly unworthy of his great talents. The book has a thrown-together quality, as one improbable incident follows another. I will not reiterate the plot, as so many other reviewers have done this so sucessfully. But I have to agree with the consensus: the characters are not fully developed, and their motivation is unclear. It almost seems like Mr. Stone just decided that he wanted to write a book that was exciting, frightening, and sexy. Start with a sensitive family drama, then add a little in-the-know power politics, a near death experience while searching undersea for lost emeralds, some terrifying Colombian drug dealers, and end with wild voodoo ceremonies and the wreckage of his home life. What have you got? That's the question.
