Query: Nothing like the others

I, too, have been very into the Alex Delaware novels and was so excited about this one coming out. I was also disappointed when I found out it had a new main character (after I checked the book out), but was willing to give it a fair chance. I had to fight to stay awake almost 100 pages into this book, as it went nowhere! Arthur Chess is such a pointless character and the conversations they have are as boring as a forced lecture in college. Bottom line, if you have not read the previous books with Alex in them, go back a few in the series and read those. Save yourself the time on this one!
