Query: YUCK!

After reading novels written by Ed McBain, Richard North Patterson, I have become accustomed to superior prose and eloquent writing. Therefore, reading Grisham's latest drivel was a major letdown. The prose seemed to be directed for 4th graders, the much talked about humor was absent, and the characters were uninspiring, unexciting people I cared nothing about. In short what an absolutely dreadful read.
