Query: Losing control

I am a relatively recent fan of James Patterson, having read 3 Alex Cross novels. The Lake House is NOT a good book. Having just finished it, I have the strong impression that Mr. Patterson lost control of his story. He created a world of horrific medical experiments and human slaughter and has his heroes trapped deep within the bowels of this world. Then miraculously in the next chapter they are all safe and recovering from the trauma, with no explanation of how they got out. This kind of loss of control of a story reminds me of how I felt when I watched Tom Hank's movie, Castaway. Similar to this book, there was a great story and character development that the directer couldn't figure out how to end. This book was a BIG disappointment. Seems James Patterson was more interested in making money than in writing a good story.
