content: Before I start, I want to say that DK has done SO much better, i.e. Watchers, Intensity, Coldfire and Odd Thomas. There.That said, this book had two of the most annoying characters I've ever come accross. Jilly was such a B#%$! I absolutely could not stand her! Ugh! The "Rain Man" brother even though he should have had my sympathy, had me wanting to chuck the book across the room.These people acted like everything that happened to them was just...well normal! No reactions whatsoever. Just endless corny bantering. Hello people. Get real. That's my two words for DK as far as these out-of-reach characters that he's been dreaming up as of late: Get Real. People like to read about Real People.
