There was nothing I disliked about this book. I would recommend it t o anyone who enjoys a fast paced thriller. James Patterson has never failed to keep me enthralled from the 1st to the last page in any of his books, and I have read every book he's ever written.
Loved every minute of this. Perfectly timed ending. Villains who know exactly what they want, but not megalomaniacal take-over-the world types. That's why this is clean police work and not a James Bond story. Grandiose, yes, but entirely plausible. Cross and double cross. Short and fast, it will keep your attention start to finish.
I'm almost sorry I enjoyed this book. I've given up on Patterson, except for his efforts with a few of his "minions", and this is one of them. While it does draw you in, if you stop to think you'll realize the plot is a little far-fetched and the villains even more far-fetchd. Still, decent "beach reading".
This latest in the series seems to have joined the Marvel Comics franchise ... Bennett becomes a latter-day Batman (complete with a female Robin sidekick) out to save Gotham City from the catastrophic designs of the evil Joker(s) ... it is all too beyond belief and fanciful. If the Bennett series is to survive, Michael needs to come right back down to earth and get back to some solid detective work in our real work which surely has plenty of plots still to offer!
Michael Bennett is a very good character. He is full of surprises and quite interesting. This is a very good series and this book is especially good. It is action packed with some very good dialogue as well. I have been very pleased with James Patterson's books. They are fast paced and when you start reading, you want to finish before you stop. I know that was true of me. This is a very good mystery from a very good author and I hope he writes many more.
As good as it gets from Patterson. Lots of fast paced action, great characters and a plot that is straight off the world's newspapers. Short, fast paced chapters with action! Michael Bennett with a heart! Prepares us for the next exciting book with hopefully more romance with Mary Catherine!
This book is riveting up till the last page. It is more than the typical who done it. It is terror attack on New York. Michael Bennett lead detective along with emily Parker FBI are so good at what they do. We have the Bennet family dynamics. Mary Cathrene and Seamus and human interest along with the intrigue.
I have really enjoyed the Michael Bennett series, until now. Ledwidge and Patterson should be ashamed by how their book factory has failed quality inspections - "Alert" will be the last book I read in the series. It now reads like a teenage boy video game script. Very minimal character development, very little development of the Bennett family relationships (which I've enjoyed in the past), way too much ridiculous blow-em-up dribble.
