Literally, this was a mistake because I downloaded it thinkingit was another story.  But, the story itself is a mistake.The first novel in the series was a true adventure story.  Thesecond amounted to, perhaps, three-fourths a good story.This last, however, is just plain silly.  The dialogue issophomoric.  The author goes on and on about who laughed atsomething (usually not funny), who got mad about a remark, andwhat was for lunch.  I lost track of the number of peoplewho sleep with Bruce, the main character.  He has at leastthree lovers, and an implied mob of others.  You know how wellthat would go over in real life!The characters are cardboard.  They practically genuflectwhen Bruce is around.  Yet all of them, especially Bruce, haveviolent tempers: Someone is always threatening to punch someoneelse out. Yet, the extended family interaction tends to besyrup-sweet.  They just are not believable.
