The Fear Index by Robert Harris

I'm sorry, but The Fear Index by Robert Harris was a waste of my time.  I decided to read it based on a list I found of the most suspenseful books.  This book was not suspenseful.  I figured out what was going on in chapter 5.  The main character is a jerk and is not someone you want to cheer for.  The premise of an artificial intelligence learning all about human emotion and human activities and making money for a hedge fund was just boring despite sounding like a really cool idea.  The activities occurring throughout the book were boring.  Like I said, it was a waste of my time.  I give it a 1 out of 5 stars.
