Review title: Still Not Back in Form
Product review: James Patterson's books are not what they once were. I have to agree with many of the earlier reviews that said the characters were not fully developed in this novel, & some bits were just thrown in for no reason. Why did Jamilla leave? Why did Christine come back? Motivations for various actions were sorely lacking. Although the concept was somewhat unique, it felt like a barely filled-in, still undeveloped plot outline. Not nearly the spell-binding Alex Cross mysteries I remember from Patterson's earlier days. Perhaps, when Hollywood gets a hold of it, a better writer will flesh out the story.
