Title: The Perfect Bathroom Book
Review: This book is the perfect book to read while you are on the toilet. It is essentially the plot of some kooky, low budget tv series - imagine Buffy the Vampire Slayer, an replace the vampires with some sketch mystery cult, and you've got it. The plot is clumsily amateurish - we understand one group to be good because we are told so, the other group is of course evil, because they have to blow something up. Every chapter ends with some kind of "omygoodness what could possibly happen next" hanger, which each subsequent chapter seems desparate to top - to absurdity and beyond! I generally enjoy tripe like this, a la Clive Cussler adventures, but this book really couldn't hold my attention for longer than a couple of chapters at a time (hence a bathroom reader). Something about the best assassin in the world being overcome by one clumsy scientist and his partially bound love interest really is laughable. Oh well. Better luck next time Dan.
