Rating: Summary: Simply Awful Review: This book has to be written by someone else. There is NO way James Patterson could write in such an amature way. I found this book simply awful, especially compared to all of his other books, that I feel are excellent.
Rating: Summary: Did James Patterson REALLY write this? Review: I can not believe this is a James Patterson book. At first the book was OK. I feel I gave it a sincere chance.(Although it was very predictable) The further I read, the sillier it got. I can NOT believe that this book was written by James Patterson, the writing seems so amature. I will still read his books, but only if he gets back to Alex Cross and some REAL writing.
Rating: Summary: avoid all eye contact! Review: I usually enjoy this author, but I found this book a great disapppointment. I found myself in a situation where I could not wait for the book to end.
Rating: Summary: brill Review: i thought that this book was brilliant, and i think that sometimes the alex cross chap in his other books is a little bit predictable although i will always read them..
Rating: Summary: Not Alex Cross, but a fun diversion for the summer Review: I enjoyed this book, its fanciful story read as a credible scenario. The characters were interesting and the narrator engaging. I look forward to the next Alex Cross novel and hope that Patterson keeps that franchise going.
Rating: Summary: Great reading for a hot day when you don't feel like working Review: Yes, it isn't Alex Cross but it's still top notch Patterson. It's different and light reading. You won't have any deep intellectual discussions about it but, so what? It's entertaining. If you like Chrichton and the new Chris Snow books, you'll like this. I read the whole thing in one sitting.
Rating: Summary: In this day and age, watch the sky! Review: The characters in this book are so believable and the situation that James Patterson created is so on the mark! I loved the book and have already recommended it to others. This book had a way of making what was happening on the pages seem even more possible in real life. Frannie O'Neil is a great character, the innocense and fire seemed to have seemed truely genuine. Kit Harrison is great guy and a great addition for the story. Hands down, the best was "Max"!! The way that she was portrayed could not have been any better, she was just unbelievable. I loved the book and hope that anyone else that reads it, will open their mind and enjoy it also. In the times that we live now, we can only hope that what we read only happen in the books, but thanks to James Patterson, we can always look to the sky, you never know what you'll see!
Rating: Summary: Formulaic and DULL!! Review: This book reads as if the author has found a leaflet on writing thrillers and followed it to the letter. Corny oh so sexy hero, strong yet vulnerable heroine, One dimentional bad guys, its all here. I think that if I read another pathetic, unnecessary, wistful sentence using the word fly, flying or any other variant I would have given the book itself a flying lesson from my window! I accept that it was supposed to be a slightly dreamy and tense thriller, but just having cliffhanger after cliffhanger does not cut it. You have to care about the characters to understand their suffering or fears, and you need to relate to the characters to care about them, and if anyone knows anyone who is anything like the people in this book, then you should probably display them in a museum.
Rating: Summary: Do not read! Review: Patterson is an author I enjoy reading, but I could find no bright spots in this poorly written SF(?) attempt. The characters were boring and one demensional. The Plot takes twists and turns, just for the sake of taking twists and turns. There seems to be little reason for the actions of each character. Also, the description of action scenes are hard to follow.
Rating: Summary: The best James Patterson book i've read. Review: I've read all the James Patterson books that I can get a hold of. And this book I read read with-in two days. It was the best of his writings that i've read, and I can't wait for the next one to come out. I suggest if you haven't read this book, and if you enjoy a good crime triller i really think you should get off your butt and get this book, as it'll keep you on the edge your seat.
