Usually, I have a great love for James Patterson. I often turn to his books whenever I'm in need of a quick, easy, and highly entertaining read. However, this particular book left me with a completely different impression. I thought it was truly terrible.
I didn't sense that there was much in the way of character development. As a result, I found myself not caring in the slightest about what happened to any of the characters. The story was filled with a plethora of different names being thrown around, which made it extremely difficult to keep track of who was who and how they all fit into the overall storyline.
About halfway through the book, I really struggled to maintain my desire to keep going. In fact, I came close to giving up several times because I simply did not care anymore. It was a disappointing experience for me, especially considering my usual enjoyment of Patterson's works.
