I really hate to write bad reviews and I am a big fan of James Patterson, but this one was a stinker. It may be my own fault. I thought I was buying a book but apparently the "Bookshots" are short novellas about 3.5 hours long. Not much time for plot or background.The first book was not very good. We have a hero called OZ that is supposed to be a genius but usually acts like a 12-year-old with raging hormones. He doesn't have a lick of common sense. In the first book he discovers that animals are turning on humans and killing them. So, what does he have for a pet? A damn adult chimpanzee, the kind that eats the face off a pet owner every few years according to the news. He asks his neighbor and his ex-girlfriend to feed the beast, you can figure how that turns out. The most disappointing part of that book was that OZ discovers how to stop the problem, less use of electronic devices and petro-based engines. It works for a short while, but everybody wants their smart phones so they return to usual and at the end of that book the world is under attack.In book two the world is hanging on by a thread. Wait a minute, if there are less people using cars, airplanes and phones, and they are all hiding in protected homes, shouldn't that make the problem go away? Apparently not. Maybe they forgot the first book. OZ is still an idiot and while the entire earth is on the verge of extinction he worries about his wife and child and even goes AWOL for 48 hours when he could be working on a cure. God, he pissed me off. The wife and child are taken by a cult. We never hear a thing about them or how they were rescued, just a short narrative saying "we got them back." Good. I did not want to hear.
