Rating:  Summary: A thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat Review: Set in New York, California, and London during the 90's, James Patterson's novel Hide & Seek is the story of a women Maggie on trial for the murder of not one husband but two. Throughout the book Maggie is trying to lose the feeling that she is weak and a failure. As life as she knows it changes some of her feelings change. As you read the book you will become more and more into it. The author lets you know only bits and pieces, leaving the rest for you to discover with the characters. This book is for those who like mystery thrillers. For those who don't its not for you. I recommend this book to book lovers and those who just need a book to read.
Rating:  Summary: Incredible!!!!!! Review: I have read the Alex Cross books, and I must admit I liked them, but they were not my favorites and I was hesitant to read his other work. Once I read Jack & Jill, I realized that there was more to Patterson than I'd thought. This book moves FAST. It's so hard to put down because there are no lulls in the action. I more than highly recommend it!!!!
Rating:  Summary: Not The Best Patterson! Review: James Patterson is one of my all-time favorite authors and I was very disappointed with this book. It is not a bad story if it is the first you have ever heard of or read of James Patterson. I have read all the Alex Cross novels and they all are 5 stars but this book was little to do about mystery and more about this woman's sex life,her lovers' sex lives and her past as an abuse victim. Where is the real mystery? Read it if you have nothing else to read but read all the Cross books first!
Rating:  Summary: **********ONE OF THE BEST********** Review: The wonderful plot of a helpless women trying to forget her past life held me the whole time. I could not put the book down. I read it in a day because I wanted to know what happened to the real murderer, Will. The images were so imanginable and graphic, but not in a bad way! The only book without Alex Cross, his grandmother, Sampson, and his 2 kids, that I extremely enjoyed.
Rating:  Summary: A Good read. Review: I'm thinking the whole time I'm reading it, "Why 'Hide and Seek'" I have decided that he comes up with the Titles FIRST, then writes the story?! Bad idea. Good enough story though, I read it, I liked it, good character development, a bit predictable, but well enough told to keep my interest to the end. I'd loan it to a friend to read!
Rating:  Summary: Awesome, scary, I couldn't put it down, it was the best! Review: Hide and Seek was a great book. Maggie Bradford was such a wonderful character, along with Will. It was extremely scary, lots of murders, and an awesome plot. Very descriptive, I could picture everything clearly. I seriously couldn't put it down after I picked it up this summer in Maine, and since then, I've read it 5 times more. I would recomend it to any of my friends. James Patterson is an awesome writer.
Rating:  Summary: Impossible to put down. Review: This is one of James Patterson's best novels. I had the hardest time putting the book down at night. I highly recommend this book to everyone.
Rating:  Summary: FIRST JAMES PATTERSON BOOK THAT I HAVE READ Review: Hide and Seek was the first James Patterson's book that I read and I really enjoyed it. The plot moved along very well and the characters were very bold and interesting. Sense then, I have read most of Patterson's other books. Hide and Seek is still one of the best.
Rating:  Summary: You won't be able to put this book down for one minute. Review: I thought this book was well written to include suspence,romance as well as mystery. I can't wait to read another of James Patterson's books.
Rating:  Summary: I adore James Patterson but this is not his usual quality. Review: My knowledge of James Patterson's abilities stems only from 2 books. "Kiss the Girls" & Along Came a Spider." This book pales in comparison. It almost seems that his publisher gave him 2 days to write it and he met the deadline. I was especially frustrated with his inablility to recognize capabilities of children at varying ages. This was also evident in the aforementioned novels, but was more annoying in "Hide & Seek." Specifically, no four year old child would have the insight to recognize someone's inability to "be accepting of themselves," no matter how brilliant the child. Four year old girls very rarely speak like 30 year old women- nor do they think like 30 year old women.This is very unrealistic & I truly wish that Mr. Patterson would keep children out of his novels until he's raised one. Regardless of these discrepancies I have to admit that the book is still readable but not recommendable.
