A Book a Day by Bruce Catton review of Red Wart
A brisk critical note on Red Warts melodramatic plot and wildly overwrought World War II era stakes. The reviewer mocks the convoluted tale of Viktor Gaszlo and a missing Karen North, noting implausible twists with a sense of detached amusement. Despite thin logic the read leaves a sense of having been somewhere in a pulpy adventure.
