I was terribly impressed with how Brown was able to create a series of opening chapters, none more than about four pages long, and each with a cliff-hanger ending. It was a real page-turner for me until by about a third of the way in at which point the pain reading all the junk made it hard from there on. But as a mystery or thriller or whatever it is, I'm impressed with the guy's talent and could easily imagine why people liked it so much. But then, I never read things like this normally so really don't know what the standard of excellence is for the genre.
