★☆☆☆☆
Starts out great, then gets stupid, stupid, stupid!
The first few chapters are intense and draw you in, then the author gradually loses control. Our hero is a hapless, nutty professor who no one believes. Then the plot holes start to pile up. At first I didn't mind but by the end I was ready to throw my book against the wall.
The last chapters are absurd. Our nutty professor has been in a serious auto accident, has been shot multiple times and the villain has just dragged his girlfriend out of the wrecked ambulance by her ankle. He is dressed in body armor, is carrying multiple weapons and has just taken out the police force and FBI agents. No problem. Find an extra bag of artificial blood, give yourself a transfusion, fill the bag with amphetamines to give you super powers and now you are ready to go. Don't forget to tape the bag to your body. Now you will be able to stop the arch villian with just a hypodermic needle! YEA! Don't forget to throw in a few gratuitous uses of the f-word. "You F***er!" right after being stabbed. If these are the type of plot twists you enjoy, this book is for you. All other intelligent lovers of good literature STAY AWAY. You are warned.
