Title: The Book of Fatal Flaws
Review: Perhaps fate has a sense of irony, for there was nothing "fateful" about The Book of Fate other than, perhaps, being left feeling apalled by the deceit and misdirection of the title and synopsis. If you think this book has anything to do about Fate, the Masons, or even D.C. politics, you're wrong. Instead, what one gets is a hap-hazard, 24-esque, boilerplate whodunnit. And the author's note at the end is laughable, with its brief discussion of the Masons (more than what you'll get in the book). What the heck does Sandusky, Ohio have to do with ANYTHING in the book? Maybe Meltzer was trying to make an absurdist connection to roller-coasters... the kind that make you sick, though, not the kind that are thrilling.
