This story is not at all predictable. I enjoyed every twist and turn like a really fast roller coaster ride with lots of loops,hills,and turns.

As of late, Patterson's books have been up and down for me. But... this one was pretty good! Either his co-authors are getting better or this was actually one of the better ones. I was expecting a bigger twist at the end, I'm so used to his having something. I dunno. I kind of liked it like this. For Patterson fans, this is one not to miss.

James Patterson hit his low point with London Bridges. Won't buy another unless someone else authors.
Michael, excellent novel. I really enjoyed it. Strike out on your own, the Patterson name will hold you back.
