The Review

I’ve loved James Patterson FOREVER. He’s just one of those authors whose books I sink into and soar through. Perfect for poolside or avoiding the kids, Patterson always delivers up a great story. I was recently reviewing 8th Confession at a soccer game and a soccer dad mentioned that he and his wife read the entire Woman’s Murder Club series. As we chatted, I mentioned that I really liked The Lake House and Suzanne’s Diary for Nicholas. There are several of his classics that I actually haven’t read and will keep my eye out for at a used book sale. Speaking of used book sales… I picked up 3 of his books (hardcover) for $3 each.. SCORE! But, I should read Along Came a Spider and Kiss The Girls and I don’t have those yet. I’m also wondering if the Maximum Ride series is good… if you’ve read them let me know in a comment below.

So, soccer dad actually brought me the book to read last weekend. Cool! After reading a very long and detailed book, I was looking forward to a little PATTERSON ESCAPE! And, that’s exactly what I got. This is a great story of two virgin births, one girl giving birth to our savior and the other the child of Satan himself (scary). Patterson keeps you guessing until the bitter end as to which girl will bring the world God’s son.

Knowing that I can’t giveaway too many of the details of a mystery in a review, I am just putting this question out there to James Patterson fans who have read more of his works than I… is there a sequel to this book? Patterson leaves that possibility at the end and I’m dying to read on if there is one!

This book was a #1 Bestseller and I can see why!

On Sher’s “Out of Ten Scale:”

Like Nicholas Sparks and Lisa See, I just love anything that James Patterson writes. I doubt that I’ll ever find one of his books that I don’t like. I’m just a fan, plain and simple. For the genre Fiction:Mystery, I am going to rate this book an 8 OUT OF 10. ( )

James Patterson knows how to write page turners; now if he'd just learn how to write them better he might be onto something. In this mess of a novel, two young girls are both pregnant, and both girls claim to be virgins. One of them bears the Child of God, and one of them will deliver the Child of Satan. It almost drives the characters in this book crazy to know which woman will deliver which child. By the end, I really didn't care so much. ( )

Among the worst drivel I've ever read. ( )

Honestly, he needs to stick with crime. He really does. It wasn't just the premise of this book that I found inane but I found his writing in this piece to be fairly lacklustre. I didn't identify with any of the characters and found his conclusion to be quite preposterous.

I love James Patterson and this book won't change that thought, but I think I'll steer clear of his non-crime books from now on. ( )

For some reason, this is the scariest James Patterson book that I have ever read. It's not that there is a whole lot of boggie man feel to this one, but after I finished reading this one, I was hoping that he would not write a sequil to this storyline. It really freaked me out the way the demon child with multiple eyes was watching from a distance....so creepy! ( )
