Title: Not up to Patterson standards
Review: If Patterson is honest with himself, he'll see this book as a failure, given the fine writing he has done in the past. This book is one more testiment to the fact that the creative spark goes astray with co-written fiction. The book has the Patterson efficiency and clarity of style. Nothing is wasted, and the reader is guided from A to B without confusion. However, the villain(s) are too evil, unreal, and downright ridiculous and dominate the goodguys' characters. Characters, motives, personalities, etc., just are not developed. This book is too cyncial, too meanspirited, too wrapped up in revenge. I would hope for something more clever and inventive.
