Title: Big expectations - disappointed
Review: One of the only novels I've ever stopped reading through sheer boredom (although I did pick it up again to give it a chance to redeem itself).A paradigm example of what happens when you create characters that are difficult to sympathize with - the reader just couldn't care less about what they think or what happens to them. Just about every person in this book has unlimited money, unlimited access to the most powerful people on the planet, and inevitably get called 'brilliant in their field of work'. I felt like I was reading a book about the adventures of Bill Gates, Paris Hilton, the Queen of England and the head of the CIA. No resonance with their world, their activities, or opinons.Coupled with an unbelievable and seemingly arbitrary wrap-up of all the plot's mysteries (the phrase deus ex machina comes to mind), I was left very disappointed.
