Title: This book is an IQ test of sorts
Review: If you cannot see the plot "twists" coming a mile away, you can safely conclude that you're among the dumbest people on earth. Look, I'm terrible at predicting surprise twists and turns, plot points, etc. But if even I can easily foresee every alleged twist, then what we have here is a fairly crappy book.The prose is, of course, truly wretched. I don't generally expect much from these types of books. Usually, a compelling plot can compensate for pulpy prose. But for a supposed thriller, this book offered no suspense, no tension, and only a passably interesting plot. Not horrendous, but not noteworthy.The pace was fairly lethargic. Some of the background facts upon which the plot is laid are entertaining. As a whole, the book is okay in a time-killer sort of way. But to say that the book did not live up to the blurbs on the cover is an understatement of the highest order.
