How does Patterson do it? He seems to crank out a book every month or so and each one is good. This one, however, is exceptional.

I was given this book by a friend. I haven't read a lot of James Patterson, but I do like the genre and thought I'd enjoy the book. The book was easy to read and moved very quickly. I like the short chapters and quick pace of the book that kept me reading. I actually read the book within 1 day. I started the book and then couldn't sleep and stayed awake to finish it. I didn't see the full extent of the story and was surprised in the end to find out that everything had been planned and connected. I thought some of the escape story seemed a little extreme, but it didn't occur to me to think that the scheme was so elaborate and went so far back. The closing of the story was more violent than I had expected, but it kept me in suspense. If you like suspense/mystery books I'd definitely recommend this. It was a good different type of book for me, not the genre I typically read. I would definitely look to read more James Patterson in the future.

Definitely easy to stay engaged while reading it. Pretty ridiculous plot though

Lots of twists and turns
This was a great book. I read it in a few days. I didn’t want to put it down to find out what happens. I would definitely recommend.
