Query: Dreck with a capital D

I cannot begin to say how much I disliked this book. If not for the fact that I had to read it to lead a book discussion group, I'd have burned this copy so it wouldn't find its way into someone else's hand. The only thing I can imagine is that Patterson had a yacht payment due and needed the money, hence this drivel. An embarrassment to anyone over the age of 13, this book has little to commend it. Sophmoric writing, telegraphed plot, namedropping, cliches left and right...I can't even recommend it as a decent beach read, unless you intend to cast it out on the ocean afterward.To paraphrase Dorothy Parker, this book should not be put aside lightly--it should be thrown against a wall with great force.I'd like some stars of my own for having survived reading this!!
