A review by srm
Holdout by Jeffrey Kluger

Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.

After an intriguing opening, I started to question the heroine at the end of the first chapter. Then I went ahead and read some spoilers, and realized I'd never be able to sympathize with her. Far worse, the book is FULL of showing AND telling. I've always felt the admonition to only show, don't tell was a bit much, because some moments don't deserve the time it takes to show, but no moment--or as often happen here, character introduction--requires both showing and telling.
