The creative world is caught up in formulas lately. They're looking for guarantees and no risks.
I'm not sure I entirely agree with this. Lost, for example, doles out the occasional answer with the constant questions - certainly enough for me to feel that the plot is moving somewhere, if glacially. It's a step out of the ordinary. And CSI, back when it started, was very unique. That there are so many imitators now only prove how unique back then!
The book - well, it ties back in with the rant because it really isn't "about" a mystery or anything else that was launched and resolved, it was "about" how the heroine felt about if and if she got laid. What was hilarious for the first few dishings is falling rapidly into formula, and wearing thin. I wasn't going to write a review for it at first because of that, but maybe I shall just to vent my frustration; of all the paper-thin books in the series, this one was particularly useless, moving nothing forward and resolving next to nothing.
