Query: What a dud!

Add me to the list of readers who couldn't find any redeeming value in this sorry excuse for a book. Mr. Thompson had nothing of value to say, but somehow managed to have this slice of tripe published. Thompson should have admitted that there was no story, returned to his newspaper, and found a more worthwhile project; instead, he wasted his time, his employer's time and money, and the time of the reader. Mr. Thompson should be profoundly ashamed of this steaming heap of trash.
