Instruct: Classify Amazon reviews into positive or negative sentiment
Query: I know 6th graders who can construct a better story.

This novel doesn't even comes close to any previous Sheldon work. It is trite, the plot is non-existent, the characters are cardboard at best and say the stupidest things, and the whole thing is a huge waste of time. I gave it one star because that's as low as the ranking goes. For work of this caliber Amazon needs a line of minus stars.The sad part is this novel was most likely only published to trade on the previous well-done work by this author, and that is the only reason i read it.You know, there is much validity to the cliche "quit while you are ahead" and it is really a shame that Sheldon 's editor didn't remind him of that.
