Query: Worst book I have read all year.

My friends said to read this book... So I did, and TBH, I have to categorize it as "the worst book I have read all year" (and trust me - I read a lot). I am *so* glad I didn't buy this or I would have been furious.The characters are flat, insipid, and uninspiring. The plot is unbelievable and as another reviewer stated, is tailored for a made-for-tv movie, the ending is just plain moronic and to top it off, there's even a little racism for good measure.Thoroughly disappointing. Save your time and your money.
