Ugh... this was the first JP book I slogged through. I gamely tried a 2nd (Leaving Time)... it was even worst than this one! By the time I'd read the 2nd book, her formula became clear to me... within 9 months(!): pick an idea, skim research it, develop a plot, people it with unbelievable & extreme characters, do not develop those characters, have characters ask endless questions about minutae, constantly lecture the reader, end every chapter with a one line zinger, publish the book, etc, etc. Just goes to demonstrate yet again... just because a book and/or author is a bestseller/trendy/popular doesn't mean they're/it's worth reading. As another reviewer said... she'll never win any sort of literary prize for her output.
