WAW (Weird and Wrong)

This is a good writer but a few of his works have fell flat and this is one of them. The storyline is rather crazy and stupid as "a soup sandwich". I couldn't never fathom this being realistic at all. The book has too many characters that you must deal with and the structure of it was whack. You have to read a little of it before the story tries to make sense. The minor characters appear to be more interested than the main characters. I am angry how the book ended. Apparently, there will be a sequel so you can find out what happened to the characters but believe me, I won't be buying it. This is so wrong to leave the readers in such a query about the outcomes. I hope this writer eventually get his groove back but at this time, I am not on board with him.
