Critic reviews

This gripping novel by the world's bestselling thriller author will have you on the edge of your deckchair.

Very bad

I have liked some James Patterson books before but absolutely not this one. Very much suspense but almost too much, feels like he's overdoing it.

I really started to hate the characters you are supposed to like and also like the ones you're supposed to dislike. I fast-forwarded the last hour but I wish I would have stopped when there was like 30 minutes left.

Don't Bother

I have read other James Patterson books but this is nothing like them. The plot is implausable and the prose is stilted. The characters are also unbelievable. I am continually disapointed with good authors who lend their names to aspiring authors who need to first write material of quality that will stand on it's own without being propped. Don''t bother reading this because you will surely be disapointed.

What a Shocker

This would have to be the worst book I have ever read. It is not even plausble!
