Book Reviews of The Quickie
Book Review: Amazing twists!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book. its intense at first, then its slows down but it picks right up.
but it is awesome, there are so many unexpected ( i didnt expect them at least)twists and when you think you got it figured out, you dont.
i really recommend it to anyone who likes mystery or has ever thought about a quickie. lol
Book Review: Another Winner
Summary: 5 Stars
Will keep you on the edge.Enough twists and turns to make anyone want to read till the end.Book Review: Best Patterson I've read
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was quick paced like all Patterson, but not super obvious. It was thrilling until the end, and twists and turns all over the place. This is the best Patterson I have read, and was such a page turner I read it in just a few hours time.
Book Review: Disappointing
Summary: 1 Stars
Fans of the Alex Cross series will most likely find this book silly and superficial. There is no character development so you really won't care about any of the characters in "The Quickie". The plot is unrealistic and unbelievable and the protagonist, Lauren Stillwell, acts in a way no police officer would (or should) ever act. The dialogue is stilted and awkward and might be suitable for middle school kids. James Patterson should retire before he ruins his good name and reputation with more garbage like this.Book Review: Do yourself a favor and skip it.
Summary: 1 Stars
Am I the only one who thinks Patterson falls ridiculously flat when he tries to write from a woman's point of view? I didn't believe for a second that Lauren was a competent NYPD detective. Her narration is flighty and shallow and exaggerated. She sleeps with a man once, this so-called quickie, but in narration she treats it like some long-established affair. And the writing here is ridiculously bad, something I would expect from a first-time author, not someone with 50ish books under his belt. The amount of "quoted words" drove me crazy. The saddest thing here is that the story had real promise, but very little is fleshed out. Instead we have a book full of shallow, selfish, unlikable characters and Patterson's now-trademark white space. If you have ever been a Patterson fan, do yourself a favor and skip this one. If I hadn't been stuck in a car for 7 hours, I wouldn't have bothered.
