So this is the guy, who's top earning author of 2015, dwarfing all his competitors? Well now, I'm not gonna say that it is bullshit (though I cannot confirm or deny that I might or might not be thinking so), but certainly I'm gonna be very vocal about not understanding why and how, but mostly, why.
Yes, this book was a page turner (chapters consisting of 2-3 pages, leaving a page empty besides a couple of lines up top more than once did not impede that), and yes, it has been quite decent story, but besides that? Cardboard characters, lots of unnecessary chit-chat which, I guess, served as a filler for those half-empty pages and unlikely ending, combined with stupid behavior of those cardboard characters (surprise, surprise!) leaves me unimpressed and in the future I will definitely have doubts about reading anything Patterson wrote.
Don't get me wrong, this book is not bad, it's just that it is so typical, full of cliches and unoriginal, that it's only good to read if you wish to waste some time. Meh, though I sort of liked it anyway.
