Query: Put Down Countdown

What a tangled mess of would-be thrills! The author introduces us to a rather unlikeable heroine and draws us into a tepid plot that combines ancient history and suicide nuclear bombers. The heroine, Jane MacGuire, is unsympathetic; instead of being feisty, she just seems contrary. The dialogue in this book is full of small but continuous argument that becomes very, very tiresome.I listened to the book on CD and found myself skipping to the next track again and again. Here's the most telling point - I really didn't miss anything by fast-forwarding. The plot was predictable and the dialogue as well.After all was said and done, nothing 'happened'. Most unforgivable of all, the author's attempt to create a believable love story fell flat as well. It's really a bad book if even the sex scenes aren't exciting.A must-miss!
