...Americans have a lot to be proud of... but I find it disconcerting that [anglophiles] practically know more about my country than I do." Apparently, there isn't enough romanticism for Ricky, and as for Carlos, Donald Trump just doesn't measure up when compared to Hobbes and Locke. Poppycock. These are hardly viable excuses when you take into consideration that both of these kids are American. Though the two don't begrudge the colonists from separating from the British and say that they would have sided with the colonists, the question is, would anyone have sided with them...

Brazzaville Beach can be enjoyed as a superior suspense yarn: Will our heroine, who is no crusader but merely following scientific principles, prevail against the murderous plots of an evil genius defending his golden poppycock eggs? In fact that statement can be made without condescension, because swift and artful pacing is the novel's strongest quality. With his five earlier books, Boyd, 39, has gained an enviable reputation as an intellectual who wears his learning lightly, when he does not toss it aside completely. Stars and Bars was a smart send-up of both British and American roads to corruption...
