I downloaded this book when it was free on Kindle, so it didn't cost me anything but my time to read it.  I wish I hadn't.  I see that there is now a price on the book, so I beg you not to waste your money.  This book is nothing more than a third-rate potboiler, regardless of the author's celebrated name.  I was drawn in by the rave reviews that I read, and the first few chapters.  They were good, but after that the book went rapidly downhill.  Characters were cardboard and the story was one cliche after another.  Apparently Mr. Sheldon also disregarded the writer's maxim of 'show, don't tell' and the story was a straight march down the road to the very predictable end.  Don't bother.
