The Queensland File is vile
The Queensland File by Julian Jay Savarin should be used in creative writing classes as an object lesson in aggravated assault by cliche.

This review is from: The Queensland File (Hardcover)
The Queensland File by Julian Jay Savarin should be used in creative writing classes as an object lesson in aggravated assault by cliche. Savarin seems incapable of passing any opportunity to use a worn out trope from the store of espionage fiction. Had the writing any linguistic grace, it would be merely unforgivable. As it is, I am forced to reconsider my opposition to cruel and unusual punishment. The first ten pages deceived me; I thought the book was a parody. By page 40 (rain had trapped me in a coffee shop) I realised my mistake and took refuge in People Magazine where the prose was more professional.
