5By JazzWashMy favorite author did it again, I loved the storyline and the characters.Amazzzzzziiiiinng
5By CranberryandCheeseI couldn't put this book down. It's an amazing book and I don't really read. Highly recommend it. Just read it for yourself. 🙌It is okay, not great
2By Flup555I read this book based on a recommendation of a co-worker. Even though I enjoyed the very easy reading (you don't have to think at all that's how basic the story line is), it for sure wasn't my favorite book. Haven't read a lot of James Patterson books yet and this one won't necessarily convince me to do so. 2.5 stars...Kinda boring
3By Avidreader0194Wasn't crazy about this oneGreat read
4By NZflowergirlCouldn't put it down. Just when I thought the story was coming to an end, there was a new twist. Highly recommend!You have got to be kidding
1By Back 2 square 1What a ridiculous book. Starting with the first chapter you realize how unrealistic the story is. It only gets worse from there. I quit reading James Patterson books over a decade ago. I now remember why. There are so many gifted writers out there that it really irritates me that something this bad even gets published. Especially with all of the e-readers. Publishers don't need to worry about how many first editions get printed. Save your money and time. Also, let all of us agree to start writing reviews so that we know what we are reading,👌👌👌
4By Yankees_85Good book overall, just expected the ending to be a bit more interesting.P harvey
3By DjharveQuickie. Well written but you read alot of JP this one was predictableCaptivating
5By big weezy420From start to finish this book had my whole attention. I'd get to the end of a chapter only to swan dive into the next instantly.Disappointing
3By SunenihsI am a big James Patterson fan but I thought this was one of the worst books of his I've read. like another reviewer said, many parts were over the top and had me saying "oh come on" - but it was action packed and the plot was not predictable.Unreal
3By Mom2CsI am a huge JP fan, and this book was really pretty good. I did have a hard time with the reality of what all she did while newly pregnant. Seemed a little over the top.Couldn't Put It Down
