Review: A good book but had some flaws
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 03 2, 2014
The storyline could have been shorter and still retained the sense of excitement. There was a lot of redundant verbiage that did not add anything to understanding either the characters or the plot. It was almost as though the writer was being paid by the word. I am not particularly fond of war, but this book did give me a sense of the middle east and some of the problems there. The plot was very involved, and at times difficult to keep track of the characters. Despite these flaws, I persisted to the end of the book and I admit that I did enjoy it. I just think that the story could have benefited by some judicious editing.
