I cranked through this one quickly and it was reasonably interesting. About half way through the book some "cards were shown" but of course any good author would add a twist such that the very obvious hand (because the book even states it clearly) was not the final hand. And yet it was.
I don't want to give any spoilers but suffice to say the father in this book in no way acted like a real, non-psychopathic person would. His character is simply an impossible and ridiculous character. Quite literally I did throw this book away from me across the room when I got to the end of it and admonished my wife for not warning me (she had read it shortly before).
This is the kind of book that makes me wonder why I'm not an author. If such a shallow level of creativity is all that's needed to sell I think I'll take a writing course and start cranking out rubbish, too.
Disappointing end to say the very least.
With the thousands of writers out there now I see no reason at all to ever read anything from Andrew Gross again. What a funny and fitting pen name.Get more detail about The Blue Zone.
