Classic Leon Uris this book isn't. I've read most of his novels and was always struck by the detailed history in each.
A God in Ruins is a good book, but disappointing as a Leon Uris novel. A review in the front states "Good Uris beats the best of John Grisham or Tom Clancy any time." That should have been my warning to expect a good, not great, book.
