Query: My Humble Opinion

The reader(s) who express their admiration for this novel seem to focus their reviews on attacking those who dislike it. There are many intelligently considered negative reviews on this page of which I agree, specifically as they register astonishment at the bad writing and lack of character development. On the basis of this being a flimsy thriller, I believe a rating of four is generous. As to the "great book" status, I can only express incredulity. The positive reviews seem very extreme in their praise, some slightly delusional. This is only a thriller, people. Good or bad, it's hardly deserving of such emotional notice. The idea that only one reader has written negatively concerning the novel is particularly ridiculous as at least three other members of our reader's circle have submitted some thoughtful criticism here and encouraged me to do so as well. It appears a one person campaign in support of the book is more is more in evidence and disturbingly odd if actual.
