Warning: One of the worst books of 2006 is now out in paperback.
It’s Brad Meltzer’s “The Book of Fate,” a “Da Vinci Code” wannabe involving a facially disfigured presidential aide, a presidential assassin and a presidential crossword puzzle. Lapses of logic are the least of its problems; an utterly unlikable protagonist, however, sits at the very top. Avoid.
