No Way! His books are great. You probably have difficulty with his style which departs from the norm especially on how he starts out -—— no real introduction or lead in to the characters or plot. I have read all his books to date.
I respectfully disagree. I find most of his writing boring, and politically tendentious. I think the worst book he wrote was the TAILOR OF PANAMA, which had nothing to do with the real world, what was going in Panama, or what was to become of Panama. He spread the mindless idea of moral equivalence between the West and Soviets during the Cold War.
