I just finished this book and was so annoyed by it I had to put in my two cents.I've liked James Patterson's other books, but this one is a dud. What did he do, slap this together in a couple of weeks, if that? The topic has the potential to be fascinating, but he doesn't do it justice. The whole story is weak, the characters shallow.I was disappointed and regretted spending the time to finish it. (Just hoping it'd get better or the ending would somehow redeem it.) I'm going to think hard about reading anything he writes in the future.
