Thank you! I felt the same wretched sort of feeling for this book. Really, just a terrible piece of writing.
I have since reading this pile of drivel to the end wondered what possessed me to keep reading. It turns out it was the same thing that kept me watching "Lost" long after I really knew they were just making it up as they went along. Fortunately I read this before subjecting myself to "The DaVinci Code" and then wanting to give Dan Brown a second chance. Thanks for clearing that up!!
I was wondering if I should call it quits. I'm about 100 pages in and am very disappointed in the character development or should I say lack of character development. Good review!
Clearly there's something about his books that make people want to read them. I mean come on, he has plenty of money and two of his books have been made into movies. For the average person who doesn't know anything about the mistakes that he made, this book is great. Also, just wanted to point out that Hercule Poirot and Inspector Morse aren't authors. Neither is Agatha Christie a fictional detective.
