The books co-authored by Ellis really are Patterson’s best. They are better constructed & better written, thanks to Ellis, but still in Patterson’s (rather annoying) style of 2-page chapters & “duhn, duhn, DUHN!!” cliffhanger last…

Very different book by Patterson not sure he was going with it.

I thought this novel was good, even though it was different from some of the other James Patterson books I have read. The main character, Ben, was such a likable guy, and he deserved better women in his life than the two in this novel. …

Yet another intriguing mystery from James Patterson

Big James Patterson fan but unfortunately just couldn't get through this book. The narrating character was annoying and his obsessive thoughts that just went on and on just ruined it for me.

I thought this was much better than many of Patterson's previous collaborations. It was entertaining, different, fast-paced, and funny

Good enjoyable read with lots of twists and turns. A surprise for sure when the plot takes a turn. Some of Patterson's work is far better but all in all a nice easy read.

Best book I've read in a very long time!! Lots of action, some surprises, great ending!! Benjamin is cool and funny! He reminded me of Myron Bolitar (my all time favourite book series)

An interest, fast paced story with lots of twists and turns. If you're looking for literary greatness this is not the book for you. However, if you are looking for an entertaining read then this is a good choice.

Not really very good. Plot is ok if you scan all the irrelevant BS. I read it in a few hours.

I have not read this book, but I did read many Patterson novels, and I too noticed that his quality of writing has changed for the worse. I believe he lends his name to the publication, but the other writer is writing the story. Mr.…

I found myself starting to 'speed read' this book at a great rate of knots! Dull.

I usually like all the James Patterson books, some maybe more than others. But this one? It's the only book of his that I didn't finish - I gave up after maybe 4 chapters. The main character, and his stupid, useless thoughts, drove me…

This stunk. The protagonist has so many stream-of-consciousness thoughts it gets in the way of the plot. Patterson needs to consider who he lends his name to on these best-seller books.

I really don't believe James Patterson is writing his own books anymore. The writing in the last 10 has declined severely. The stoyline is boring. The writing is almost infantile. I felt like I was reading a childrens book much of the…

It took me a while to get thru this book but I eventually did... not his best.

So disappointed in this book. I eagerly read every new book that James Patterson writes, but this book .... didn't measure up. It was boring and I quickly forgot what I had read in the previous chapters. Too much government stuff. Better…

Book was boring

I have been a fan of James Patterson for many years, after reading this book I'm starting to wonder why. It looks to me like all the references to movie and presidential trivia are nothing but fillers added to a story that could have been…

I didn't even finish this book. Patterson is not a great writer, but usually his books are worth a quick read. This one wasn't even worth a quick read.
