Was just thinking the same thing... hehehe!

Seriously though, I read the book and it was a good read despite its infantile writingstyle and constant embarrasingly obvious "hooks" and cliffhangers. It's one of those books that made me think "What if?" but not for a second did I take it for anything but fiction. It doesn't have any re-readability value at all to me thanks to the overuse of dramaturgical tricks.

I feel sorry for those who take it for truth though, to be so easily suggestible into thinking fiction is fact must be somewhat of a social handicap.
