Book Reviews of Cathedral

Book Review: way too wordy
Summary: 3 Stars

DeMille is an excellent writer and I liked a lot of his other books, but this really needed a good editor to excise about one third of the verbiage.

It is a compelling yarn, but the first of his I have read that is devoid of any humor. His characters are usually very funny, and even though the plot is a tragedy, it could have used some lightening up.

About 2/3 of the way through, I began skipping through the pages of long, tiresome descriptions to where some action started again. A disappointment.

Summary of Cathedral

St. Patrick's Day, New York City. Everyone is celebrating, but everyone is in for the shock of his life. Born into the heat and hatred of the Northern Ireland conflict, IRA man Brian Flynn has masterminded a brilliant terrorist act the seizure of Saint Patrick's Cathedral. Among his hostages: the woman Brian Flynn once loved, a former terrorist turned peace activist. Among his enemies: an Irish-American police lieutenant fighting against a traitor inside his own ranks and a shadowy British intelligence officer pursuing his own cynical, bloody plan. The cops face a booby-trapped, perfectly laid out killing zone inside the church. The hostages face death. Flynn faces his own demons, in an electrifying duel of nerves, honor, and betrayal......
