Title: Disappointing
Review: I'm not sure what I expected from this book, but it wasn't what I got. After a promising 100 pages or so building up the plot and setting the foundations for what should have been an exciting adventure, the story flounders along at a laboriously slow pace. It fails to deliver either as a literary work or as a thriller. Characters remain two-dimensional and the attention to unnecessary detail is often painful. To carry off that kind of writing you need to be hugely talented, and sadly Kostova isn't - or at least that talent isn't realised here.A lot of people seem to love it, though, so it could just be one of those situations where I just didn't click with a book - it happens with some of my favourite writers.
