Didn’t Like It

I usually don't criticize books on the basis of their premises, as I like to give authors some creative leeway, but this book has far too many simple hidden facts that don't bear up to scrutiny and are not believable motivations for characters. The story is reasonably well woven, the facts all tie in together, and it is in many ways quite suspenseful. However I just like the characters to be "smarter" and have more depth to them.
