Title: Another mass-produced book with no heart
Review: Another book by Patterson (and his favorite co-author) that reads just like every other book Patterson has written. Lots of short sentences, short chapters, and a plethora of italics. I think Patterson must believe that adding italics to any sentence makes it suspense-filled or more interesting somehow. I did enjoy early Patterson, but he has become the Ford of the publishing world. For those who are still hooked -- it's a good beach read, but there's just no substance to it.As for me, I'm done reading his books, but it makes me sad that an author I once loved to read has become such an assembly line writer. (Add italics here, some exclamation points there, a thin plot, a love interest, and voila! you're done.)
