Isn't Mr Patterson capable of writing a book by himself anymore?? I'd much rather
he release one book per year, written completely by himself, than all of these 'collaborations' (that's if they really ARE collaborations!!) which tend to be of much lower quality than his earlier stuff.

Well.. I guess I should have known better. I have always avoided James Patterson because he is one of these "Extruded Thriller Authors" (tm).... however the book caught my eye in the airport. I avoided it twice because of the author, and finally plumped for it as the best on offer in the airport.
The writing is so poor it's just laughable. Other reviewers say is this targetted at children. To me it feels rather that it was *written* by a child. There is no depth to the characters, it jumps around randomly and leaves elements unfinished, and the only reason I kept reading it was because it was better (barely) than the airline in-flight magazine (which was in Finnish).
The good news is it's persuaded me to get a Kindle, as now I can avoid being trapped into spending £££ on this type of drivel again.
(extruded thriller authors are those who churn out book after book of identical crime thrillers, with only an up-front randomiser as the differentiation between each book)

I'm not sure what James Patterson was trying to achieve here - this book has one of the worst identity crisises I can remember. Is it a childrens book? Or for adults (it is written in a style aimed for young adults but does contain a fair bit of sex)? Is it sci-fi or an action thriller?
This is also so poorly written I would be surprised if there was an editor involved in the publishing.
This is not the first dud I have read from Patterson in the past year or so (following on from the abismal Private), so I think this may well be my last. As a long time fan (I've been reading his books for 15 years +) I am very disappointed and extremely disheartened.
You've lost a reader here JP.

If this manuscript had arrived on your desk but with an unknown author as the writer, it would have been junked after half a dozen pages. Read more

Story is beyond belief
I thought 'great' a James Patterson book I haven't read - I just wish I hadn't bothered. The writing was awful, the story didn't flow at all, and the characters unbelievable. Read more
