recommends it for:
Grimes fans.

Ugh, boring book. It made me never want to read genre fiction again, which is pretty much a given anyway. I was thinking, though, how amusing to get into mysteries just like I did when I was a kid. However, I will definitely not be getting back into mysteries if no one's going to be dead for the first two-thirds of the book, and if it goes on and on about some kind of layman's quantum physics. Also, I don't appreciate superdogs in my fiction, I just don't. Whatever.
