review 1: Tons of well-researched detail; never really grabbed me. Competent writing and obviously well-researched, I was frustrated over the explaining (often and at length) and the continuing time jumps. Frustrating because I really wanted to get into the characters and the story but never really did. There's some good writing in here and the topic is interesting; I would try again if the author reworked the basic construction, perhaps allowing us to move in a more linear fashion and finding ways to fill us in without jerking us out of the ongoing story by explaining histories (we could take a certain amount of this more easily if presented as a briefing, for example, where we're sticking with the central character and seeing/hearing along with him).That said, there are readers wh... moreo won't mind these flaws. My frustration stems from the knowledge that if the author reworked this to keep us solidly with one central character's experiences as they happen, this could be dynamite.
review 2: I literally could not put this book down. It was heavier and bulkier than my ereader, but I brought it with me while I was attending a recently concluded convention. I sacrificed the small space in my bag for this book because although it was a little more than 350 pages, it was so action-packed that I didn't notice the page numbers anymore! Details especially about the diamond industry were very informative and showed how well it was researched. Friends, you will become a fan too! less
