Title: Disappointing
Product review: I've enjoyed Brad Melzer in the past and the plot in The Zero Game seemed interesting so I had great expectations. Unfortunately the book was very much a disappointment. I gave it a two star rating because if nothing else I thought it was funny. I don't think Melzer intended his novel to be a comedy but to me it read like one. I had the feeling that I was reading a spoof of a political thriller. The plot quickly gave way to one chase scene and narrow escape after another with the bad guy always knowing exactly where the good guys would go next. I wish writers would spend more time developing the story rather than simply writing chase scene after chase scene.
