plus the fact that it reads as if written by a fifteen year old who missed their ritalin dose.

Which is fairly standard for a fast-paced page-turner
If you read it really quickly, all in one go, it's not too bad - it's only when you actually stop and think about it for a minute that you realise it's such utter tosh

Spot on.
It's exactly that - a page turner, an airport book. Something to read on long(ish) flight. I found the subject quite interesting, but the English and the dreadful writing was akin to other books in the 'airport book' genre.
Sadly though, I made reference to it in conversation and family members assumed I was a DB fan. For Christmas that year, I had no fewer than five copies of the fucking drivel, including one in hardback. Illustrated no less!
I did read his others too, no doubt on some bloody flight somewhere. All were entertaining (apart from that last effort) and all were written by a 12 year old practicing for a GSCE exam, masquerading as a fully grown man.

You could tell it wasn't a keeper
