Hide & Seek

Rating:
Summary: Too little mystery and too much explicit sexual description
Review: Highly recommended, I read Hide & Seek thinking I would be rivited to my chair... not so. The plot was twisting and at times interesting but it left too many of the mystery/thriller details out. I have never read a good mystery/thriller that had so much detailed sexual information. Sex may be on everyone's mind but it did not have to be so exploited. I hate to judge an author by one book, but I certainly would not recommend this book or the author to any age readership.

Summary: A boring and pointless book
Review: Although I read the whole book, for no reason other than loyalty to one of my favourite authors, I have to say that James Patterson lost the plot in this book! I still can't quite work out the point of it. The story was immensely boring and I didn't care about the characters, any of them! Maggie irritated the hell out of me and her daughter was equally as irritating. If you are about to delve into the world of James Patterson don't start with this book - it's not a very good first impression of Mr Patterson's writing talent.

Rating:
Summary: Extremely good reader
Review: This book has an intense story line, very likeable characters, a page turner, couldn't put it down. I recommend this book highly. I would also recommend "When the Wind Blows".

Rating:
Summary: BORING
Review: THis book is too dull which is suprising because James Patterson is usually very good. The book hops around everywhere trying to be some psycological thriller but fails miserably take my advice stay away from this

Rating:
Summary: Definitely a disappointment!
Review: This is my first James Patterson read after hearing my wife rave about Kiss the Girls. I found the storyline contrived, the villain boring, and the dialogue average at best. I think it will take some convincing to ever read this author again.

Rating:
Summary: YAAAWWN !
Review: I found it very painful to make it through this book. I tried reading more and hoped to get some stimulation to finish it, but never happened. I read Kiss the Girls, which was better, but he may find it better to abandon the "from a female perspective" angle.

Summary: What a disappointment!!
Review: About 2/3 of the way in to this book I almost stopped reading due to boredom. Then I thought I'd give Patterson the benefit of the doubt and finish it off, in case he redeemed himself... sadly, I don't think he did. The book was very predictable, the characters had no real depth (or redeeming features!) and the writing was poor. I wasn't scared for even a second. I usually like "popcorn reads", but this wasn't worth my time!

Rating:
Summary: Good read, but not Alex Cross
Review: This was the second Patterson I have read ( the first being Along Came A Spider) and I found it predictable but enjoyable. It gets tedious, so you have to want to finish. I did so and read it in 1 1/2 days. Its good, but read the Alex Cross books first.
