1) The book throws out a lot of characters early on but accompanied by such a lack of motivations or past it's hard to stay interested.2) At more than halfway through the book, there are so many disconnected plot threads you feel like you are finally going to learn something...instead...you get MORE shady characters!3) Good thrillers keep you entertained because skilled writers know how to slowly give out just enough information to keep you guessing. This guy keeps it all to himself.4) The author tries James Patterson's style of 4-5 page chapters, but all he does is frustrate you because he keeps cutting away from something happening. Perfect for people with A.D.D.I give it two stars because some of the action scenes aren't bad, but just as something interesting starts happening, it cuts to something else.
