Lost book hits the bestseller lists

so who is the real author?

The author, Gary Troup is an anagram of "purgatory"

I too hopped aboard the "buy my book" train for this Lost inspired drivel. I was hoping for some hidden meaning about the show or clues to characters and such. It's not a bad story given the stance as a standalone from the show. Truthfully, I enjoyed the other Lost books, "Endangered Species" and "Secret Identity" much moreso than "Bad Twin". Hopefully I'm wrong and there will be more of a tie in during the third season.

I just started reading it this afternoon and I'm hooked. I find the opening realistic and believable because I know a PI who can't resist telling these types of stories. The one I know, however, seems to enjoy exposing insurance fraud much more than the character in the book... and I don't think my friend has met the Widmores either...

*sigh* does nobody read my comments, or does Bob just ignore mine? ;) Anyway, yeah, I grabbed it as an impulse buy/quick read, and it wasn't disappointing. There really isn't all that much tie-in, except for a few brief mentions of Hanso and that the family is Widmore. It's a pretty straightforward detective book, as aaron said, so I wasn't expecting literary masterpiece.

I can only echo aaron's sentiment: nice, quick, enjoyable summer read with a few cheeky nods for Lost fans.

It's a private eye book so you can't really expect all that much. My questions that i have is the main character comes in contact with the Widmores and the Hanso Foundation. So does that mean Mr. Troup actually had experiences with them? He knew they existed to put them in his novel. So i want to know whether Troup had encounters with these people.
Overall I like it, it's a nice summer read.

The book is horrible. Poorly written and edited (I hate finding grammar errors in a novel). I don't believe it's a Stephen King novel, like I said it's poorly written. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK......you will be disappointed.
