ONLY SOME OF THE LOOSE ENDS WERE RESOLVED, SHODDILY, FORGOTTEN PLOTLINES RUSHED TO AN UNSATISFYING END. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT WAS NONEXISTANT. TRAGEDY P RN, JUST BAD THINGS HAPPENING FOR NO REAL REASON BECAUSE ITS "REALISTIC" PROBABLY. THIS SERIES COULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED IN THREE BOOKS IF PATTERSON WERENT JERKING IT THE WHOLE TIME PRETENDING TO WRITE. THIS READS LIKE A CREATIVE WRITING ASSIGNMENT HE FORGOT UNTIL THE NIGHT BEFORE IT WAS DUE.
