Negative Positive
Title: Irritatingly Cliche-ridden
Review: I wanted to slap the protagonist, slap his ex-wife, slap his girlfriend and, until she got sick, slap his kid (what 10-year-old do you know who says "fabulous"?). These characters are some of the most unsympathetic and poorly fleshed-out I've seen in Cook's books. In order to make us care about his causes, he needs to make us care about his characters. The egocentric surgeon, the bimbo girlfriend, the resentful ex-wife, the spoiled, manipulative child, the uncaring, evil corporation - we've seen these cliches a million times.
