It seems almost insulting that a book like this should even be sold. It has excessive violence, trying to appeal to young boys, yet that is all it has. It's characters are flimsy at best, with attempted witticisms that fall flat. It's world building is both sloppy and uninspiring, with little depth the world is not well explained and glossed over. It seems as if the only selling point for the novel is Patterson's name plastered on the front. It is both poorly planned and executed creating a book that is too violent for young readers and too inherently flawed for older reader.
