Ratings and reviews

This book was not a good read. It starts off good and then the character in the book ruins the story by comparing everything to a movie or tv show. It throws off the thrill of the story b/c i have to skip over it. I love every book James has written but this book is going in the burn pile in my backyard.

I think the story held true to its self. A couple of times it seemed to run on during the chases. But overall it was a great read and keep me interested throughout.

Mr Patterson has slipped with this book. It does not deserve even a 1 star.
