Patterson the Master Story Teller

Patterson the Master Story Teller
I like James Patterson for a number of reasons. He is a very well educated writer with a masters in English with honors and, yes, you can take that to the bank. His stories are well crafted and he involves the reader by developing a relationship with the character. He talks about that in his Masters writing series as well. I have a MFA and a retired doctor and I am beginning to craft novels like his, so I think I understand the work that goes into his stories. OK, that being said, I suspect that the short dynamic chapters are embellished outlines. But you know, God Bless James, he makes it work and I enjoy his style. I keep buying his books because they are interesting, he has action in his short chapters, he keeps the reader on track with his characters progressing the story along.His stories are well crafted and I think James has a great brand going on here.

I'm biased I love the character Alex Cross and the entire Cross family. Along with family friend Sampson . This is a thrilling ride as are all of the books in the Alex Cross series. If you're new I'd suggest starting at the beginning of the series, you literally watch the characters grow.

It’s hard to conceive just the volume of successful literary output this author has produced to date! I’d bet J.P. was never accused by his English teachers with the quip “An idle mind is the Devil’s workshop”! He’d probably write another blockbuster novel entitled thusly”!!!

I liked, but not loved this book. The Alex Cross series is my favorite of all of Patterson's books.

However, I am a little irritated that the title had NOTHING to do with the plot in this book. Just a gimmic title. I feel let down.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun but a bit underwhelming

I enjoy James Patterson novels. I especially like Alex Cross and was looking forward to this book. But I found myself a bit underwhelmed by the book. Sure Alex does a good job, finds the criminals, solves issues and does what is next to impossible. BUT, and this is a big BUT, the action is a bit to predictable and really not up to the normal par that I expected from James Patterson.

I enjoyed the characters, the plot was good and having two story lines running together added to the suspense and the expectancy that I normally find in James Patterson.

The two stories are this, first of all the Presidents children have been kidnapped and there is no ransom demand, as a matter of fact the only note is one that mocks the president and hopes that he grovels in the misery of knowing that his children will never come home. Of course all the stops are pulled out by the Secret Service, Homeland Security, the FBI, the CIA and the Washington Police Department. Frankly with all those involved how can they not solve the crime quickly? Well, only because maybe it is the perfect crime.

Alex is brought in on the case as part of his job but then the First Lady specifically asks for him to head up the investigation because of previous success he has had. But even that doesn't seem to speed up the process, the kids are missing for way to long.

The second story is that of a terrorist group that invades America and is targeting the top 18 political figures who are in succession to become President in case of disasters and the death of the President. The group takes out one high value target and nobody knows who they are. But an informant comes forward who starts to give Homeland Security the information they need to start to break up the terrorist ring.

The question is, are the terrorist the ones who kidnapped the President's children? Or are these two separate events?

I enjoyed the book but I thought it wrapped up way to easily and to quickly. I felt that it lacked some of the drama and tension of other Patterson books. It's an OK read but not my favorite.

If you like Patterson you will enjoy this book, if you are new to Patterson you might want to start with one of his older books first.

Enjoy!
