PROBLEM: I  LOST CHROMOSOMES READING THIS BOOK! . I don't know what to say about this book. It is the single worst book I have ever read in my young life.  I feel like I've witnessed a horrible tragedy and am at a loss for words to describe it.  I would say at some point in the book, maybe about halfway, every line of dialogue, every characterization, every plot point, is absolutely terrible.  This book is truly an offense to literacy, and I cannot understand how a publisher of any merit or author could publish and print this trash.  I can only imagine that Robin Cook either allowed a child to write this book,or was chronically drunk while writing it. Either that or he has lost his faculties altogether. I have read children's essays that have been better written.  While it would take a novel to explain all the problems with this book, the highlights are:  -knowing the mystery 50 pages into the book and being forced to painfully watch the dumb characters discover the mystery  -cliche mania with lines like, "I going to get to the bottom of this mystery" and when the character's discover something, giving each other high-fives.  -racist remarks about blacks living in harlem about how they like to steal televisions, own guns, and play basketball.  -stereotype characters such as mafioso that like to eat spaghetti and named dominick and vinny.  -incredible suspension of disbelief when the heros, nyc coroners, fly off to africa on a moments notice because they want to finish their case of a dead body. (also paying for their friends to come too)  -wandering around the main installation easily where the evildoers are working, and asking questions, and getting answers to them real easy.  -incredible annoying characters that make inappropriate jokes. (i.e. making sarcastic remarks to a guy holding a gun on them)  -the book spirals into total madness in the last 50 pages to a beyond implausible ending. I got a sense whoever wrote the end of book was on sleeping pills when he wrote it.  If anyone thinks this book is better than two stars, they need their head examined.

SOLUTION: NEG

PROBLEM: Cradle and All . Of all of James Patterson books he has written and I have read, this is the most disappointing one of all.  Had I known beforehand what this one was about, I would not have bought or read it.  Sorry, J.P. is too good a writer to put out this kind of trash.  Just my opinion!!!!

SOLUTION: NEG

PROBLEM: What might have been.... . The subtitle of the book, "The Friendship That Won The Civil War" would imply that there really was a friendship, and indeed it seems the relationship between Grant and Sherman was destined to create a winning duo. That makes it unique, not just because of the resultant Union victory, but it really does stand out as the one relationship among the senior leadership of both sides that was capable of creating the kind of synergism necessary to win the struggle. The only other comparable relationship was Lee and Jackson, which was every bit as successful, but didn't survive the war.  There are too many anectdotes in the book to mention, but I can say that I learned a lot more than I had previously gleened from separate biographies. Grant was clearly a victim of disappointing performances by subordinates, Sherman being a glowing exception. And Sherman's armies needed the type of visionary leadership that ultimately unleashed them to win. Yet the contingent nature of the events leading to the monumental victories are pointed out again and again. Such were the nature of promotions and military politics in the day.  A fast paced read. The relatively quick descriptions of the battles are much appreciated. If Grant and Sherman seemed like inspiring characters before, Hood's book will convince you that the story of their friendship not only won the war, but had a profound impact on 19th century America well beyond 1865

SOLUTION:
POS
