This book got wonderful reviews and those got me to persevere through more than half of this annoying book, but at some point I had to admit that I just didn't see what the reviewers saw in it.
The story is dull and the writing is pretentious.
Fieldwork: A Novel
by Mischa Berlinski
Give this first novel a try(4/4/2007)
This is a very interesting and enjoyable first novel. The mystery is compelling and well-plotted and the scenes of Thailand are beautifully done. Mr. Berlinski is a very talented writer and I look forward to his next book.
