A review by pkiwi
Senor Vivo and the Coca Lord by Louis de Bernières

2.0

Unfortunately, this book fell flat for me. It felt unfinished and random, like the different storylines weren't properly connected and several (like the president's and Lazaro's) were actually quite pointless and had nothing to do with the actual story. To me, it also lacked action. I was left with the feeling nothing really happened until the last 30 pages or so and then that action felt really tacked on. Like the writer suddenly saw his deadline looming and remembered he still had a book to wrap up. The plot was too easily resolved, undermining the danger and thrill set up in the first two parts. I don't say this often, but this book would've probably been better if it had been twice as long.
