What a shame!
I loved James Patterson books! I sat in a tent, in France, in the stifling heat, reading "when the wind blows" and could NOT put it down. I loved the Alex Cross books - pacey and gripping, but OH NO!!! What was this?? I agree, there were twists, but they came towards the end of the book - you had the majority out of the way before the twists, then they seemed to be squashed in, as an afterthought - the first half was loooong - appreciate we're trying to build tension here, but pffff! I was just really frustrated! If I hadn't spent some hard earned petrol money on it, I'd have given up.
James, take time out, you can't need the money that much!
Give it a while, then come back, all zesty and fesity, like you used to be!! We miss the old you!

Far fetched shallow rubbish
I have read quite a few James Patterson books - found them great well paced thrillers. This is absolutely rubbish, lazy, far fetched, shallow and I couldnt even finish it, I found it so annoying. I wont be buying anymore Patterson books

Exciting and a real page turner
I enjoyed this book, it may not be the world's greatest piece of lierature ever written but for an easy to read page turning thriller it hits the mark. I love the short chapters, I always think they make a book that bit more readable, and this is one where you just have to keep reading a bit more. I didn't particularly think it was far fetched as some other reviewers did, it's exciting, enjoyable and what more do you want of a thriller?
