ANHOW Review of Books: "Sounding Drum" by Larry Jay Martin

Published: 1999 by Kensington Publishing Corp.
Length: 345 pages, hardback
Genre: Legal/business thriller(?) (see below)

This is a book that does not know what it wants to be. It is partially a legal/business thriller and partially a "buddy book" farce. It features a group of New York City American Indian friends ,led by attorney Stephen Drum, that go against the mafia, a blackmailer/assassin, the federal government, the New York State government, the New York City government and all of the odds to put an Indian reservation in New York City with an accompanying "Indian" casino in Rockefeller Center.

The book is frustrating, however, becuase the thriller aspects are not consistent and the fun "buddy book" parts only kick in during the last 50 pages or so. It makes for a herky-jerky read and is ultimately unsatisfying. That is why I am giving it a "D+".
