.Sail

by: James Patterson, Howard Roughan

June 09, 2008
Is there really a James Patterson, or was he created by a computer too? "Sail" reads like a comic book. It is totally predictable. I can only imagine how this "book" was created. It appears to me that someone sat down at a computer with a grab bag of potential scripted happenings, pulled up a variety of them, and then wrote a "story" transitioning from one scripted event to another, sort of like panels in a comic strip. Sad to say, it appears Little, Brown and Company has "sold their soul," and is willing to crank out garbage to take advantage of a popular name. The story line is so trite! Don't waste your money on this bad joke of a book. Patterson must laugh all the way to the bank, assuming that there really is a Patterson!

.7th Heaven (The Women's Murder Club)

by: James Patterson, Maxine Paetro

February 04, 2008
When I selected this item, it did indicate that it was a hard cover, but I was a little disappointed to receive what looks like a Doubleday hard cover and not a hardcover that would have been sold in stores. Other than that, the book was in excellent condition.

.The Dangerous Days of Daniel X

by: James Patterson

July 21, 2008
I was very disppointed in Patterson's new series for Young Adults. The kids at our library liked the Maximum Ride series for the first couple of books, so I was waiting for Daniel X's series. The teens at our library read a much better caliber of writing than this book. There were very interesting story lines in the book, just no development. Perhaps a few less books by the author, and more effort put into the books he writes, would be wise.

.Sundays at Tiffany's

by: James Patterson, Gabrielle Charbonnet

April 28, 2008
Once again, I have fallen in love. James Patterson's new book has, yet again, delivered the kind of emotion one feels when one is hungrily, desperately and hopelessly in love. I cannot even begin to gather the words to describe this book.

I'll start with the summary found at the back of the book...(Warning, spoilers!!! as I have added a bit more detail)

Jane Margaux is a lonely little girl. Her mother, Vivienne, a powerful Broadway producer, makes time for her only once a week, for their Sunday trip to admire jewelry at Tiffany's. Jane has only one friend: a handsome, comforting, funny man named Michael. He's perfect. But only she can see him. Michael can't (and does not) stay forever. On Jane's 9th birthday he leaves, promising ... Read More:

.The 6th Target (Women's Murder Club)

by: James Patterson, Maxine Paetro

January 08, 2008
In case you don't know, the Woman's Murder Club is made up of San Francisco Detective Lindsay Boxer, Assistant D.A. Yuki Castellano, Medical Examiner Claire Washburn and Reporter Cindy Thomas. In this one we have three story lines going at once, all interesting.

The book opens with wacko Fred Brinkley firing six shots at passengers on a ferry. Four people die and Murder Club Member Claire Washburn is wounded. Brinkley is quickly arrested, but is he sane, Yuki is going to try awfully darned hard to prove he is.

Meanwhile person or persons unknown are kidnapping rich kids and their nannies. The nannies turn up without a pulse, but the children are kept by the nefarious bad guys, who warn the families that their darlings will remain ... Read More:

.You've Been Warned

by: James Patterson, Howard Roughan

August 01, 2008
I have read over 20 James Patterson books and never have I sat there so dumbfounded at the end. Throughout the entire book, I was confused with the direction of this story. The end was not a true ending and left me with more questions that I had in the begining. I wouldn't waste my time on this book.

.The Final Warning (Maximum Ride, Book 4)

by: James Patterson

March 17, 2008
I loved all the Maximum Ride books. This one was a little contrived, more of a lesson on global warming with a short, wierd battle at the end. It is a credit to Patterson that he has developed such great characters, that I still loved to read about them.
