I too have found lately that Kennedy had exhausted his art, his subjects. My sister lent me "Five Days," and I almost tell him to win, and then finally I have done nothing, and took me. Yes it is true that at times the writing is a bit mushy, and I surprised myself to see that it was more a prejudice, and that overall this book is worth it. The main reason that I would invoke is that it asks the right questions, did wonder about his own life, leaving the reader or the reader to draw conclusions of its own. Otherwise it's well written, the Kennedy style shines through, I read 5 or 6 of his books, and in the end many will think it takes a sequel, but for my part I find it quite successful.
