A review by mike_brough
Cari Mora by Thomas Harris
2.0
One of the few books I've ever given up on. After 100+ pages, I've put this clunker aside.
There's no sense of place, which is shocking in a novel set in such an atmospheric location. There's no sense of action or adventure. To compensate for those dearths, there are too many indistinguishable characters, none of whom I cared about and none of whom I felt like I should be rooting for.
This feels like the skeleton of a script for a caper film. It might well make a good movie, but it doesn't make good reading.
