Query: There are much better books out there

Some chapters are fairly well written and keep your attention but the majority of the book is somewhat boring and predictable. The author makes an attempt of foreshadowing but doesn't do much with it. I am still confused why the Japanese and American babies were mentioned as much as they were and in the end the author did virtually nothing with them. He attempted to introduce romance in the novel but the romantic references were appropriate for even a 2nd grader to read...not much passion there! The ending left many unanswered questions regarding the treasure, the romance and the future of the main characters. I honestly cannot believe that the average rating for this book is 5 stars because there are much better books out there.
