Review: Another comic book, painted in words
Rating: 3 out of 5

This yarn is really a comic book. The plot is convoluted but if you read it carefully you have to conclude that Alice should be locked somewhere where she can't do any harm and that atrocities committed in Guatemala might not have been so atrocious (even though they were!). Inclusion of the hype surrounding the Mayan calendar did not really add anything.This is a fast-moving yarn of kidnapping, hostage-drugging, escape and redemption that could be great when skimmed,  but is pretty hair-raising when read more carefully.
