review 1: The author did a great job to keep the story going but as some of the readers mentioned in their reviews, it was a bit boring and wish the story can be slightly speed up. The story is too long and the pace is slow. It was quite tiring for me when reading the book. Besides, I was a bit confused with the story as it involves of too many characters and different places. This would make a better movie than a book and easier to be understood as well.
review 2: Very enjoyable, especially for a story with political and corporate conspiracy themes. I don't often buy into them because they can get really outlandish, but this was well done. We have Irish main characters, American characters, settings in the Congo and a strangely believable story line. I do agree with the... more other reviewer who complained about 2 main characters named 'Jimmy'. Although it happens enough in real life, I did find it annoying. Our main Jimmy tracked down info in away that developed the plot (plots) nicely. I liked the journalist angle, too. It gave the motivation a slightly different pitch than a detective-law and order slant. less
