Not bad for an airplane read. Mostly pretty predictable, but ending was unexpected

Hard time getting through this book. Just didn't seem to be written very well.

If you go in not expecting much, it actually ends up being, if nothing else, an amusing read. Something quick and easy. A decent beach/airport read.

I usually LOVE James Patterson's books, but this just got WAY to absurd. There was too much going on to even be a tad conceivable. On the up side, it did give me something to read for a couple of days.

James Patterson has always been one of my favorite authors. This one is a Very interesting read. Great twists, turns, emotions, descriptions and is very hard to put down. I planned on only reading s couple chapters (they are shorter) and ended up reading and extra 1/3 of the book!

Holy twists and turns! Didn't see the plot twist coming, but the end was sort of rushed at the end. :-/
