Book Reviews of Detective
Book Review: "Detective" an unbelievable and uneven read
Summary: 2 Stars
This is the only Arthur Hailey novel I've read and it didn't live up to his reputation as a great novelist. Initially I was intrigued by the theme of the novel, however, as I read the book two things put me off. First, the characters are just not believable, and second, he kept going back and forth in time as he told the story. I found the latter especially annoying as I tryed to understand why he chose this approach to write this book. I did finish the book, but I've read better.
