Is this really Patterson?
The key elements of the plot have been covered by others. Indeed, the overall plot is pretty engaging. The book is quite short -- fairly large type and a lot of white space. I read it in a single day.While the plot is entertaining, the writing is pretty sad. Some of the writing is so amateurish that I found myself physically cringing as I read it. I'm assuming that the book was actually written by someone else. Patterson seems to be trying to cash in by putting his name on this stuff. I'm not looking for great literature here -- just a good, entertaining read. I really don't blame Patterson for trying to maximize his return from his reputation. For me, though, this is bad enough that I probably won't bother with his future work.
