"I finished JDM's "Dead Low Tide" a couple of days ago, and I was disappointed.

It was the first JDM I remember having to struggle through. I think the problem was that to me the weak protagonist was also a weak man."

I just read Cape Fear and had exactly the same reaction. In MNSHO the protagonist was a bumbling fool. I was never convinced that he risked his family because of some high moral respect for the law.
