Title: Shallow and Humdrum
Review: To say I was disappointed is an understatement. I use to eagerly await the latest James Patterson book. Sadly, Patterson has taken the route so many writers take when they become successful - they write to meet the demands of a publisher who has signed them to mega-dollar contracts. Step on a Crack was boring and hum-drum. Where normally I do not want to put a Patterson book down and read every word to see how he develops the chararcters, I found myself skipping pages and whole sections of the book - because I knew I wasn't missing anything. While I thought the ending was clever, it was not really shocking. In hindsight, I should have done what Billy Crystal did in the movie When Harry Met Sally - read the last chapter to see how the book ended. I wouldn't have missed anything.
