​THE VOICE OF LITERATURE

Picture
Ted Bun reviews Refusal by Felix Francis


In the past, I have read most of the genuine Dick Francis books. The Sid Halley stories being in among the best of them. I was tempted into this one by while doing some research for a story.
Sadly, Felix is not his father. The book moves forward in leaps and pauses. The character of Sid has changed, much more than marriage and fatherhood alone should have done.

The secondary characters get very little development, even Chico becomes a cypher of his former self.
​
If you are new to the Francis canon, it is a perfectly acceptable ripping yarn, but …. 3 Stars
