Just a short review, this book can be summed up by the following:

Ugh.

I wanted to like this book, I really did. I thought it would add a little depth to a show (Lost) that has sort of lost its way.

But, for whatever reason, they got stuck with, or picked, an author, writing as Gary Troup, who hates the mystery/thriller genre.
Actually, I wanted to verify that, and did a quick dig to find out who ghost wrote the book, and it turns out he is a mystery/thriller writer. Doh. Maybe he’s just not very good. Or was thinking about writing in another style too much. Needless to say, I won’t be picking up any Laurence Shames books anytime soon.
