- Nice airplane book- 3 - By Janehowze - Nice airplane book but no depth of character development or a plot that made much sense. 
- Complicated- 4 - By smmonfee - Overall I enjoyed this book. It was difficult to get into because so much time was spent introducing characters. Lot of names that meant little at the time. But, once past the intro it became more interesting and was hard to put down. 
- A let down- 1 - By Skyysteve - To many characters, plot all over the place, and a major mystery was not explained 
- Bad theme! Not exciting! Just a bad story- 1 - By grutfd - Don’t waste your time 
- Help me out Private- 5 - By Abu ezekiel - I made a purchase of this book but it's still asking me to pay again and it's on my purchase list. 
- Private is an Awesome series!- 5 - By Kodasmom325 - I absolutely loves series with some of the same characters but yet still adding new from book to book. You've hit it out of the ballpark again! I'm addicted and cannot wait to start on the next one! 
- Really bad.- 1 - By Hahfiensjs - Hard to believe that this was written by a professional.  Introduced to WAY too many characters, most of which had nothing to do with the confusing and poorly developed plot.  Not a good look for Patterson... He should write it if he attaches his name to it. 
- What's Up With "Private?"- 3 - By Emily Bell - Why haven't you brought back Peter Knight from "London Games?" Especially since this one set in London. He was a great character. The best in all the Private books (with the exception of Jack Morgan). I like the idea of the series but think it hasn't come into its own yet. 
 Disappointed Reader 
- Not up to standards- 2 - By RAMJD - Jut not as we'll written as other Patterson novels. Too many twists and turns. Too confusing. Very disappointing. 
- I LovedThis Book!- 5 - By MBA78 - I started reading this book and was so intrigued, I could not put it down! I just read it from start to finish! 
- Not worth it- 2 - By OLymeBonnie - I agree with the other reviews that say that this book is not up to par with James Patterson's earlier novels. This was a waste of my time and $$. 
- Private London- 1 - By 1970TAC - I normally enjoy James Patterson books but Private London was one I did not. I was unable to follow the story and the characters. It was a disappointment. 
- Private London- 1 - By Cintula - This is the first book that I really did,nt care for.I have read many books that Patterson has written and could,nt put them down!This book was too complicated to read.Very disappointed!Ann lee 
- Private- 1 - By mnjopuy - I have been very disappointed in Patterson's recent books. He needs to get back to the writing. 
This book is convoluted to the point I have no idea who anyone is or how it all comes together. The Hamas has just come into this already mixed and mashed story. I will never know the ending because I'm done reading. I used to wait with anticipation for a new "James" but now I'm going to tread cautiously before purchasing any more. Really too bad. 
- Private London- 3 - By Bosco's Dad - A shame that Patterson no longer writes his own novels. Keep hoping for a great book but lately it's just not there. Nothing great here at all. Felt nothing about anyone. Cold and bloodless reading at its worst. 
- Ok- 3 - By Steve Arron 15 - Started off really good with a great deal of action and heartbreak. There was basically two different problems going on in the story so it lost some zeal for me. Too many characters too that were brought in for a second then brought back chapters later felt like I needed to take notes. Too much at the end with regards to how the puzzle got put together and a bit unbelievable. Not his best but still enjoyable
