gemtea2000 's review for:

The Lion's Game by Nelson DeMille

3.0

---

I was disappointed in this one although there is a situation early in the book that was so intense I felt like a tranquilizer was necessary! However, the novel was too long and the main character so repulsive and obnoxious it was hard to finish. Three stars because the story was pretty solid and it is a somewhat controversial book because it was written before 9/11. If you read it you'll know what I mean. I wanted to really like it but it only made me want to read Joe Pike or Elvis Cole. Real heroes!
