I'm a bibliophile who's been reading fiction since 1985, and this book takes the award for the worst novel ever! That says a lot, considering the dreck that my eyes have seen. Simply put: It is sentimental, outlandish rubbish. Patterson needs to team with De Jonge again, because he can't do it alone. Spend your money on Harry Potter for childish fantasy or Harlan Coben for suspense.
