Rating:
Summary: different tha other books by author, but also engaging
Review: i loved patterson's along came a spider, but did not like kiss the girls at all . . . this book, hide & seek, i liked . . . suspenseful story that kept my interest to the very end of the book . . . i heard the taped version and found it to be excellent (the narration, in particular); however, i'm sure the written version would be equally interesting.

Summary: Patterson can do better.
Review: I flew through Hide and Seek. Patterson's writing style is so swift and fast-paced that reading his books are like watching action movies, exciting and action-packed. However, this book reads more like a weak Sidney Sheldon book (not to knock Sidney Sheldon, he's cool too), than a James Patterson novel. I would have liked it better if he didn't just skim the trial, and if he had made this story a bit more plausible. I did like the characters, but I think his Alex Cross novels are far more superior. They have good characters and an excellent plot.

Rating:
Summary: Intriguing and satisfying for a suspense novel
Review: This book was very good. Patterson's style of writing is amazing. I only have one bad comment about it, and that was I was dissapointed at how the end turned out for Will.

Summary: Disappointed!!!
Review: This was my first James Patterson book. I had high hopes but found the writing (a) rushed, and (b) unconvincing. While the book was very easy to read and relatively enjoyable, I expected much more suspense, drama and terror. Sure there was a twist and it was a huge surprise, but I didn't really care by that stage. So it's my first...and my last. Sorry James!

Rating:
Summary: Exciting and fast-moving
Review: "Hide and Seek" is a fast-moving, exciting, can-put-it-down thriller - I read it in a few hours! I haven't found a James Patterson yet that I haven't loved. Worth the $5 - you'll pass it along to all your friends.

Rating:
Summary: Just like Patterson
Review: "Hide & Seek" had me jumping, the story was excellent. The plot twists kept me in great suspense. Patterson's style of writing his books in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person, give you, the reader the chance to really be stuck in the book until the last page. If you like the Alex Cross novels, this book if definately one to pick up.

Rating:
Summary: Maggie needs a visit from Mr. Soneji
Review: This is solidly one of the worst Patterson books I've come across. The plot is boring and reads like a romance novel in parts and then turns into a murder/suspense novel. By the end of the book, I didn't even CARE what happened to Maggie. I wanted them to give her the chair just so we could get a little excitement in this book. Too bad Gary Soneji is dead from the Alex Cross books - I had the perfect suggestion for his next victim.

Rating:
Summary: Real fiction
Review: Seems that James Patterson has taken a turn, in this book anyway, towards the likes of Jackie Collins. Filled with Harlequin-esque romantics, and none of his usual suspense-filled storylines.
