Really enjoyed this book! Unlike many authors, James Patterson's books do not all seem to be cut from the same cookie-cutter format. He surprises once again with Lifeguard. Art theft, double-cross, murder, mystery, romance, twists and turns with characters I enjoyed and wanted to learn more about - I found myself "taking the long way" frequently while I was listening so I could hear more!

While the plot was decent and suspense was good, I thought the main characters were poorly developed, and the book included many lines that seemed more appropriate for a D-rated suspense movie. I found these lines cheesy and slightly annoying. The reader of the audiobook had a dramatic, husky voice, and perhaps I grew tired of that. I considered stopping the book many times but found that it was still an okay way to pass time while in the car.
Good book. I really liked the characters.
This was the first James Patterson book I've listened to on CD and I'm hooked! The plot line involves fine art and a heist gone wrong, which made the story even more interesting to me since I'm an art lover. There's a love interest, a 'family of origin' problem, and lots of surprises as the story moves along. I never thought I would enjoy a mystery like this but if you're looking for a really engaging story that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last word,this book is for you!
I enjoyed this Audio Book from start to finish. I thought the male reader was excellent in both his male and female voices, as well as with his accents. Gripping story! Loved the end.
