Title: Ration the research
Review: Indeed,Jimmy Carter has done an impressive amount of research. And by golly, he has used it all. When reviewing a novel, this should be a reason to delete stars, rather than award them.Cramming in all the research at which they worked so hard is a common failing of novice historical fiction writers, but fortunately for them, they are not former presidents of the United States, so their initial efforts never embarrass them in print. Either Mr. Carter's editors (and we know who they are, because he names them) were overawed by his impressive past, or recognized that turning this turgid recitation of facts into anything resembling a novel would be a hopeless task.
