Book Reviews of Tourist Season
Book Review: A Great Come-down
Summary: 2 Stars
All the power to those who loved it and who see a lot in the author. I just didn't appreciate the effort, didn't see what all the fuss is about, didn't see talent, skill, intelligence...blah, blah, blah. The raves blew me away and I had to read the book, but I have rarely been so disappointed. Compared to the best of Ross Mcdonald, to take but one example, I thought this really very thin. I was especially drawn to the piece by the cover raves speaking to the author's satirical powers, none of which impressed me. I found all of it terribly mediocre and old-hat. It seems to me that the older generation of detective fiction authors had real depth and solid literary talents to match the best of non-genre fiction writers. This is the sort of thing one calls pulp fiction and if that is what one likes, here it is in full glory.
