Let me give you an example: Linus, our hero in this book, meets a woman in this book and the book goes into detail about her personal life. Why? She has no large part. I do not need to know that she is single and that she likes machines more than humans. All this information dump make my head tired... Then we have Linus and his two conspiracy friends. Sorry, but they are boring, yes you get A LOT of facts about them (just like everyone and everything else), but that doesn't make them interesting. I'm honestly surprised that Linus managed to find himself a wife in the first place... I gave up, I just couldn't get myself to finish the book. (  ) MaraBlaise | Jul 23, 2022 | Oh, come on! I thought. The guy did a damn good job with that last book. How bad can this really be? As bad as everyone's saying, it turns out. The biggest complaints I read were the gratuitous diving into unimportant, bottom-level characters that may only be in a single scene, never to be seen again. I'm here to tell you, I didn't think it could possibly be as bad as all that, but it really is. You get an agent who asks a couple of questions, but a couple of paragraphs of history dating back to childhood. You gotta ask why? It just feels like padding. And it consistently and constantly yanked me right out of the very thin story. Until the one time I got yanked out so hard, I simply couldn't be bothered to dive back in again. Fuck that. Life's too short to read shit books. I'm tapping out less than a quarter of the way in. Lesson learned. If there's almost two decades between books, there's likely a reason. TobinElliott | Sep 3, 2021 |  ) flemertown | Jul 10, 2021 | We are introduced to Linus and his two friends, all conspiracy theorists. They’re always on the lookout for trouble. And, boy, do they find it when Linus's wife is killed. She was on a plane she shouldn’t have been on with another man, and someone bombed the plane. Twists and turns abound when we follow Linus on the one hand and his friends on the other as they figure out the mysteries. In the middle of the book I was sometimes confused and had to re-read some paragraphs. But all in all I enjoyed the book and it’s dialogue very much. But I wonder if anyone besides me is curious about Richard Preston, the name, not the character. I read reviews of this book but have seen no one else bring it up. When I saw that name, I immediately thought of the author Richard Preston. How amusing that his name was used for a character so concerned with a plague. I read this because I liked Noah Hawley’s latest book, BEFORE THE FALL, so much. I see with A CONSPIRACY OF TALL MEN that he was writing five-star books even 20 years ago. (His picture from back then makes him look like he was about 12 years old when he wrote it.) (  ) techeditor | Aug 17, 2019 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML: The debut literary thriller that launched the career of the bestselling author of BEFORE THE FALL and the creator of the show Fargo. Linus Owen is a young professor of conspiracy theory at a small college just outside San Francisco. His marriage is foundering and his wife, Claudia, has gone to Chicago to visit her mother. But if Claudia is in Chicago, how is it that two FBI agents show up at Linus' office and inform him that Claudia has been killed in a plane crash on her way from New York to Brazil? And why did a man named Jeffrey Holden, the vice president of a major pharmaceutical company, buy her ticket and die beside her?
