When I first read James Patterson years ago I liked his writing style and the succinct way he gets to the point,the plot twists and short cliff-hanging chapters that keep up your interest. I would really like Patterson books a LOT... if it weren't for the shocking violence and/or graphic sex! I am certainly no prude, but this book, though entertaining in it's own way, left me sheeding tears of empathy for one character, while at the same time shocked by the content. If you can read this type of material without getting emotionally involved, ( if it's your cuppa tea) then it is recommended. I certainly think when I began reading this book that it would go in the direction it did. i know that's vague, but I don't want to ruin it for those who haven't read it yet.
