WOW, I READ THIS BOOK IN ONE DAY. AND I THINK I JUST FOUND THE BEST BOOK TO BE CONSIDERED A SELLOUT. MEANING THAT THIS BOOK IS WRITTEN SPECIFICALLY TO MAKE MONEY. THE WRITING IS VERY SUPERFICIAL AND SIMPLE. THE ACTION IS VERY LAUGHABLE AND TWISTS AND TURNS HAPPEN WITH NO EXPLANATION. IT'S LIKE WATCHING A VERY BAD EPISODE OF A BAD TV SHOW.THE PART I LIKE IS THE SCOOP FOR THE REASON THAT IT'S SO GROSS, BUT OF COURSE TOTALLY UNBELIEVABLE . I'M A PATTERSON FAN THOUGH. SO I GUESS IT'S FORGIVABLE TO WRITE A PIECE LIKE THIS ONCE IN A WHILE. FOR ANYBODY WHO JUST STARTED READING PATTERSON, TRY HIS OTHER NOVELS. THIS ONE JUST HAPPENS TO BE A VERY BAD FLUKE. BUT I SWEAR HE IS VERY TALENTED ,EVEN THOUGH THE LAKE HOUSE SEEMS LIKE HE'S NOT.
