Boring and predictable

Still plowing through it. Boring and predictable. Maybe there's a big twist at the end that would make it worthwhile. But I'm afraid I've wasted my money on this one

It seemed like a 'formula' book--change the location, but the story is sooo predictable.  I would not read this author again.

This book is dull and predictable. I started skimming about half way through just trying to see if anything ever happens. By the time it does, you know what's coming.  And, it takes forever to get there. I am shocked at the good reviews of this book. It was not suspensful or thrilling at all. If you wnat to read a good memory loss novel, try The Raw Shark Texts. It is everything this book was not-mainly an exciting page turner.

I read this book and really don't understand what all the hype is about.  I found it boring and predictable.

This is a nice sequel to the first in the series.  However, her writing style is very predictable.  The behavior of the characters is always to resist the obvious, then finally, and to the readers relief, give in, thus having a happy outcome.  Rather boring!  I won't be reading any more of her books, sadly!

This book is predictable and a bit boring. It is well written but leaves the reader with zero anticipation or surprises. The beginning, middle, and end of this story were exactly what I thought they would be. It took me a long time to finish this book because I set it down often and didn't want to pick it up again due to a lack of interest.

I found this book to be rather boring and predictable. I stopped reading it when the sexual references and language became too much. Just not for me.

I had high hopes for this book and was so disappionted in it.  The characters are so sweak, the setting is boring the plot predictable.  So boring frankly....

I felt this book was boring and very predictable. It contained no action and page turning details to make me want to continue to read the book.

Didn't find this suspenseful or really all that interesting.  The male characters are all one-dimensional and (spoiler alert) never evolve, while the women all start off shallow and/or weak in one way or the other, only to emerge triumphant by the end.

Boring and predictable, and clearly written by someone who did their time on Wall St. and left with a terrible taste in their mouth.

I had to give this 1 star because I didn't read past page 100. How boring and predictable! I couldn't believe it was from the same authors that were among my favorites. I loved "Brimstone"  and most of their earlier stuff. Actually, I wouldn't give any of their previous works less than 3 stars, but this book, I couldn't get into at all. And after waiting 2 months on the "Reserved" list to get it from my library! Definitely not worth the wait, and with other reading material awaiting me, reading to page 100 was enough time to give this. Just nothing interesting or compelling or new about it. You knew the plot was just going to be those close to Pendergast dying in succession, with him chasing his brother. Pendergast seemed like a caricature of himself, and the other characters had nothing to commend them; there was no reason to take an interest in them. What a disappointment after "Brimstone".

I did not enjoy this book. It is not a thriller. It is mundane. Every day is the same. I kept waiting for something to change; something exciting to happen. For half the book I read on, bored to death, waiting. The ending was definitely not worth all the time it took to get there. It was a big letdown, and fairly predictable too.

I saw so many good reviews for this movie that I decided to watch it. I wish I stayed away because this was one of the most predictable movies I have ever seen. The last 45 minutes were so boring, anyone with at least half a brain could tell what was going to happen from one scene to the next. They try to add humor and 1960s spy style to it since it is a remake, but it doesn't help the fact that there really is no story or plot here. The humor by the way is just playful banter between the American spy and the Russian spy and it is not as funny as much as it is annoying at times. They begin to explain way too much about what is happening during the middle of the movie, just in case you fell asleep or have never since an old 1960s spy show/movie before. It was very unnecessary to backtrack over old scenes and explain what is happening since it was already so obvious. This movie was definitely made for people who can't handle a complex plot and may not know what a movie should actually be. If you like mainstream movies then you may actually enjoy this movie. If you generally watch good movies or independent films then you will find this too boring.

This book was ok. It was so predictable. There was way too much foreshadowing so you'd know what was going to happen a chapter before it did. The book jumps around to all these different dates. There were flashbacks every chapter. The characters were stereotypical: the teen girl who isn't pleased with her appearance and the high school jock who had it all. They were likeable but not necessarily memorable. It was a typical war/romance. Nothing surprising. You saw it coming long before it happened taking the "no way"  excitement out of the novel.

I almost gave up on this book.  It is boring at times and very predictable.  I do not understand why this book is on so many lists.

The plot was very predictable and boring. The characters were superficial and annoying. I wish I could have the time back that I spent reading this trash.
