Patterson has basically patented a method of using ghost writers to increase his already excessive output. Here he has handed an outline to Andrew Gross, who did the day-to-day writing of the book. But unlike traditional ghost writing, here Gross gets a full cover credit. He has since gone on to develop his own series.

I only skimmed through this story. It is written at a fifth grade reading level, with extremely short chapters, convenient for the bathroom reader. It is set in the "Middle Ages" but the style is utterly modern, full of 20th century idioms that constantly poke through the scenery, particularly in the dialogue.

Yes, I thought this book was trash. I am only reviewing it because PBS shoved it in my face for some reason.
