With any review I do, I ask myself a single question: "How much do you care whether or not people read this book." This time, the answer is not so simple. I honestly have no idea whether or not people are interested in Nelson DeMille. Dude has a following. He doesn't need my help. Also, he's not ter...

The narrative voice is nearly as annoying as Zoey Redbird's: better in that the skill level of the prose is higher, worse because it's consistent.
