A review by blondierocket
The Quickie by James Patterson, Michael Ledwidge
3.0
I’ve read many Patterson novels and like most where he collaborates with other writers, the style is different and not completely Patterson. It’s rare for me to pick up one of his novels and not enjoy it from front to back.
The character felt very developed in all aspects of emotional behavior and rational thought as she struggled to find out the truth of what happened, without turning herself in. There were moments where Lauren did things or had reactions that almost didn’t seem like her. Snap judgments, comments and attitude occasionally threw me, but maybe that was how this character was supposed to be when under insurmountable stress.
Very quick to conclusion and almost felt forced, lots of loose ends never tired up, and not very realistic. But I was still happy with it.
