Work detailsRun For Your Life by James Patterson (2009)
After the death of his wife NY Detective Michael Bennett is left to raise his ten kids alone. As if this isn't bad enough, a serial murderer is going around killing some of the city's more prominent citizens. As he was in the previous novel, Bennett is still an extremely relatable character who audiences can's help but root for. Unfortunately, the end of this, otherwise exceptional, thriller completely derailed the novel through an extremely implausible turn of events. One can only hope that Patterson will regain his footing if the character makes another appearance. (  ) es135 | Jan 14, 2012 |  Detective Michael Bennett while dealing with a brood of 10 at home being sick a wonderful nanny Mary Catherine helping out along with is Monsignor Seamus Bennett. Manages to take care of his wonderful family and work on a case wth a spree killer. The sick and twisted killer is trying to avenge his brothers death by going on a killing spree and because of the killers lack of being there for his little brother when they were young he feels the need to avenge his death. What another great book in this series. (  ) mskeens | Dec 18, 2011 | Love it! The villain was insane, the hero was great, the supporting characters were memorable. I think this is one of James Patterson's better books. I'm glad he still has it. I thought he was losing his touch after reading a few of his later works. The Michael Bennett series might also be my new fave series after Alex Cross'. jaypee | Aug 3, 2011 | A quick but very good read, probably one of the best James Patterson's I have read. I really like the characters in the Michael Bennett series, and this one actually kept me guessing. Will read more in this series. (  ) bribre01 | Mar 30, 2011 | Patterson distances his new character Bennett from his famous Alex Cross by every means possible. Whilst he is careful to create a likeable officer, with family responsibilities, he isn't the straight arrow Cross was initially, Bennett is angry and not at peace with himself. Whilst the character development may consume a third of the Run for Your Life, its main thrust comes from the frenetic antics of serial killer, The Teacher. As usual with Patterson the action is relentless, the pace quick-fire and it presents a few twists for good measure too. Although the biggest twist is similar to a previous Patterson novel, its still enjoyable from start to finish. And what a finish - it'll stretch your disbelief, but you won't see it coming.
