Not one of his better ones, 2010-09-06
I have read all of James Patterson's books and this was not one of his better ones. I am so glad that I got it out of the library. Don't waste your $12.99 to buy it on the kindle!
Disjointed, 2010-09-06
This is probably one of the most disjointed Patterson books I have ever read and I have read most of his books. His Alex Cross, and the women's murder series were fantastic but this is not worth struggling through in my opinion
The Private, 2010-09-05
Seemed to take a while longer than usual to get my book, the condition of the book is as stated
Message overlooked by reviewers, 2010-09-04
This is not a deep read... Back in the day, like so many reviewers, I would RUN to the bookstore to get JP's latest "hot off the press." These days...we are disappointed. Seems to lack detail, depth, the vocabulary too elementary... TWO authors should be able to come up with better words than "ginormous"! However, one should not overlook the important issue (and very possible danger) concerning and linking texting and teen abduction. Parents may want to read and discuss verifying who is texting before ever going to meet up with a friend "in crisis." No one has mentioned this...
If you are new to James Patterson, try Pop Goes The Weasel, Along Came A Spider or Kiss The Girls, for example of why we are disappointed with mezza-mezz stories of late! Must plug the amazing Patricia Cornwell's latest : Scarpetta and Harlan Coben's Hold Tight for anyone looking for an engrossing thrill!
