Query: James Patterson Lets Me Down Hard!

I watched with anticipation a TV interview with Patterson on his latest novel, Suzanne's Diary For Nicholas, and bought it. I have long read and enjoyed his suspenseful crime novels. Now I realize this was a departure. But I found it to be sophomoric, soapy, deadly dull, altogether a very disappointing read. I felt suckered in and resented it. I hope to save others from getting ripped off. Save your money and wait for his new release coming out this fall. Truly, it could have been written by a student assistant (might have been). I started to just abandon the story, but decided to stick it out to the bitter and predictable end. Sorry.
