Unbelievable plot and unlikable characters!
Why read a book with characters you don't like and a plot that is so absurd that you feel silly actually reading it? When I start a book, I like to finish it, but this one could be put down at any time and you haven't missed a thing. Definitely NOT worth the hype that preceded it. In fact, it is one of the worst books I have read in a long while. Shame on you, Robert Stone!
