This book insults my intelligence. The author substitutes withholding information for providing clues, and what clues are provided are painfully easy to guess. He also switches points of view every chapter, presumably to offer the reader a glimpse of simultaneous and related events, but really, it could all be done from one person’s point of view without losing momentum or mystique (which is all bogus anyway). I am tempted to refuse to finish reading it; I never would have accepted it for publication.

Truly, turning this book into a movie may be the only thing that makes this plot salvageable.
