Good read, but strange "magical" ending
Amazon review
I don't normally write reviews but I've just finished this book and felt I had to. I'm a huge DK fan and have loved all his previous books, but this felt like he was trying something new and it just didn't work. One of his strengths is in describing the intricacies of relationships and human downfall and I wish he had stuck to that with this book. The start of Woman in the Fifth - Harry running away from his mistakes and trying to start a new life in Paris - felt like a re-hash of a few of Kennedy's older (and better) books, and the end suspended all reality and was a bit silly. If you're new to DK please don't base your opinion of him on this book - I highly recommend State of the Union and Big Picture.
