" I can't tell if I'm tiring of soon-to-be hackneyed plot lines or if this book is just on the blander side. Without spoiling too much, the real life Characters of Clive's family becoming part of the cast is tiresome. I'm sure it makes the family reunions sparkle in self-important revelrie, but couldn't you just stop it after "Dirk"? "
