Yawn... this "thriller" was one of the most boring books I've read. The only reason I finished it was due to being in a hospital bed with nothing else to read. The actions and characters are ridiculous and so poorly drawn the reader cares nothing for any of them. All emotions and personality traits of the characters felt forced and phony, as if the author pulled them out of a bad B grade movie cast. I'd never read Baldacci before and seriously doubt I will again.
