Oh good grief, Water Baby. I thought enough of the Minx line that I asked the local library to get it for me. Afterward, I considered writing a, "What crap is this?" post but never got around to it.
The author seems to have a hit a point where he thought, "Yay! I've hit my target page count!" & just worked toward a half-assed stopping point.
I don't know, maybe I watch too many police procedurals, but I would have preferred the car thief to be caught.
Heck, Brody actually developing shark powers would have been interesting, but then I read too many superhero comix as a kid.
The sad thing is, I can totally imagine me writing a story that way, where it just sort of stops on what in a different genre would be a minor beat, but as a reader it was annoying.
