The book is a page turner... it isn't all that different from any other popular novel...

The problem is that for some reason people expect the novel to be well written. The writing, for those who know good from bad, is really quite pedestrian. That said, if you can get over the awkward writing, it is a compelling thriller.

I think people have set it up as a brilliant piece of work for the usual reason that many confuse popularity with excellence.
