The idea for this book was clever, but it had some of the worst dialogue I've ever read. All the characters spoke like an article in a medical journal, not realistic at all, with the exception of Black characters, who threw in an occasional "Hey man" or "You know what I'm sayin". That brings me to another problem with the book: it was stereotypical. The evil German villian with the scar, the Italian mobsters, etc. Most people's reviews say they were let down at the end, but for me, I was just happy it was over( I had to read it for school).
