Fast paced and thrilling!! Page turner!! That's why James Patterson is my favourite author...Just couldn't put it down!! I'll definitely be buying ALL his book shots..
Let's start with the "book shots" nonsense. Stories shorter than a novel are either a novelette or a short story, depending on length. Calling them a "book shot" and acting like it is something new is a sad commentary on the ignorance of many James Patterson readers. Now, I have given up on most Patterson books. They are generally written at about the third grade reader level and very predictable. This one at least has lots of action, even if it was totally predictable. The main reason I even bothered is that it was available as a book on CD which allowed me to listen to it while running errands rather than being deluged with the same boring political news. It's a decent story, better than 95% of Patterson's books, but nothing special. Basically, a modern remake of the old short story, "the Most Dangerous Game".
Love these 'book shots' I am going to read all of them. They are shorter stories but still thoroughly engrossing.
Not sure about Bookshots. I really try to like them and I normaly like short stories a lot. But the Book Shots from James Patterson seem like they are mass manufactured and not finished.This book is the perfect example: Good Story outline and it starts great, but halfway into the book, I think the Author realized that he did not have a whole book to finish the story and so he cut it short... The ending is very abrupt, not finished, just awful. It could have been a great story, but sadly it wasn't. I think I will cancel all my pre-orders of BookShots. They are not worth it.
Another excellent Patterson styled story. Never disappointed with anything that is associated with James Patterson's name. Andrew Holmes adds that British flavor to the story. Another fine tale added to my library, and would be an added plus to any others.
It was sooo predictableGoGood luck with the rest of the serieesWas very slow needs better characters sooo much for this book
The premise of this book grabbed me immediately. Shelley is easy to like- a good man that just wants a quiet life with his wife Lucy and his dog. In Afganistan he was part of a three person crew, and he has been worried about his old friend Cookie. What he learns about Cookie draws him into a toxic world where the bored and rich hunt a very special prey. In order to shut the hunt down and avenge Cookie, Shelly will have to infiltrate the most deadly game of hide and seek ever. I really loved this book. It was extremely easy to like and care for these characters. The story was fast paced and well written, a perfect example of Patterson's lightning fast reads. Five Stars On the adult content scale, there is a ton of violence and language. I would give it a six.
This book is so unlike something that James Patterson has written before or at least a book that I don't remember reading in the past. It was fast and enjoyable and I wouldn't mind reading more like this.
