Title: My gut instinct said "don't buy this!" unfortunately, I did
Review: I enjoyed most of the tenth justice, so I was pretty excited to read this. I hesitated after reading the flap copy because the concept really irritated me--beyond farfetched and seemingly designed with a movie in mind, but I gave in on a rainy Saturday. This book is crap. It reminds me of another disappointing second book, Reaper by Ben Mezrich. Both books are very shallow, and read like summarized movie scenes--or sound bytes, all flash and no substance. The absolute low point came near the end, with the ridiculous grand finale which never could have happened. I think Brad should read a few more good books--he makes Grisham seem like Hemingway or Fitzgerald in comparison with this poor effort. I too, am suspect of many of these 5 star reviews. Curious how they read rather like back of the book raves, isn't it? Save your money, rent the movie when it goes to the video stores!
Is the review positive or negative?
