A review by bergsteiger
Mitla Pass by Leon Uris

3.0

In my opinion not even close to Uris' best work. He is something of a pulp writer so I expect a few cheesy scenes laced with grit but this was a very rough novel. He drew away from his masterful storytelling several times by the awkwardness of his prose and dialogue. This book would have been a definite two star if he hadn't put together the ending so well. If you are a Uris fan it won't hurt to pick it up, otherwise I would read Exodus or Mila 18 as a first Uris novel.
