Step on a crack

There wasn't anything I liked about this book, except for the family aspect. Unfortunately, the book didn't end all that happily. I didn't think that it would, but I don't much like political thrillers. Who is going to try to kill the president's wife by giving her nuts? And the Neat Man? Really? He was just super annoying. I liked Michael's character well en, and I really liked the kids. This book just didn't do it for me at all. I'd be perfectly happy if I could go through the rest of my life never again reading a James Patterson novel.
