Query: A waste of time and money

Normally I buy books; this one was borrowed and I'm happy for not having spent the money.What will the next "secret paper, hidden offspring" blizzard of titles consist of, "The Clinton chronicles"? Between the hackneyed plot, floridly gratuitous descriptions of everything from sounds in the halls to mid-hangover vomiting, and boring, overworked, scenarios - a total waste of time - and someone else's money.The jacket writers and critics who cite this piece of work as depicting an accurate view of the "new" Russia obviously didn't experience (or otherwise know) the "old" or "new" Russia.If "Archangel" is this author's "third and best", let's hope there is no fourth.
