Query: worst book of the year

I had read The Bone Collector, loved it and was SO excited that I got Teardrop for my birthday....until I started the book. This has got to be the sappiest, most unlikeable "hero" ever! Not once did I even feel the slightest bit of empathy toward any character, the premise was goofy, and for the first time in years, I put a book down without finishing it. This one rates a great big "YUCK", and I doubt if I'll read another of Deaver's works. So there, I said it and I'm glad.
