Review: Depressing book for at least six chapters...
Rating: 1 out of 5

Let's see:  Start with a hero with a real talent.  Put him in a bad situation.  Make the situation worse.  Get him arrested and put in prison.  Make that worse.  Make everything hopeless.  Drag it out indefinitely.  Are we enjoying ourselves so far?  I gave up on this novel by the sixth chapter.  My patience ran out.  It had every appearance of continuing without relief for an indefinite period.  Good luck to you if you want a depressing book.
