veleda_k 's review for:

The Club Dumas by Arturo Pérez-Reverte
3.0

The Club Dumas kept me entertained, but it's brought down by its two, unequal plots, one of which has satisfying ending but lacks stakes, while the the other has high stakes but is given insufficient emphasis (in my opinion) and drops off abruptly.

Also, this book is a worthy entry into the "The way men write about women (and really shouldn't)" club.
