The Truth

Poor writing.
Terrible plot.
This is about an 'investigative reporter' who couldn't investigate his way out of a paper bag.
Don't waste your time reading it.
I want to go to a book club meeting - cos havent seen the people for ages. Tried to start this Pile of Palin several times: my whole being balked at reading it - when I got a reminder saying the book was short and could be read fast, I took them at their word and gulped it down very quickly - like nasty medicine. Sadly, unlike the nastiest of medicine, there's no chance of it doing me any good at all.
Until p86 it's irrelevant and uninteresting. Then there's a section that's got more stereotypes than there were trees in the (1950s) Amazon forests.
After that, it goes back to being uninteresting, with some plot 'twists' that can only be a joke. Against the readers and publisher!
I repeat: Don't waste your time reading it!

Sometimes I avoid my book club when I hate the book, and then find out that everyone hated it and had great fun trashing it. I hope it goes that way for you, what fun!

The usual suspects agreed with me, and we did indeed have lots of fun, just as you suggest!!
