A Weak Effort!, December 19, 2005
This review is from: Bad Guys (Hardcover)
I'm usually a big fan of mob-related novels so I was looking forward to reading this book, which received a very favorable review from Publishers Weekly. However, Bad Guys was a major league disappointment. The basic plot about a cop that infiltrated the mob in Chicago has been done many times before and done better. The characters are stereotypical, one-dimensional (at best), somewhat cartoon-like and lack credibility. The only character that Izzi created that I cared anything about and that had evoked some sort of emotional reaction was the dog, Sparky. If this isn't enough criticism, the plot was very predictable. Do yourself a favor and skip this book.
