When I first discovered that James Patterson had written a new book I broke my neck to get it. After reading it though I find that it really wasn't worth me killing myself over it. Mr Patterson keep me enthralled with Kiss the Girls. "Pop goes the Weasel" makes me want to do exactly that POP! There is no depth or understanding to Alex's character, and Christine seems to get only passing mention in reference to thier relationship. If you want to make a movie out of this one you'll have to have stronger actors in order for the movie to carry it's weight. Might I suggest Laurence Fishburne or Ving Rhimes!
