Book Reviews of You've Been Warned
Book Review: Deserves ZERO stars.
Summary: 1 Stars
Being steady reader of James Patterson's fare, I am amazed at the mediocrity of this book. It appears at first glance that Patterson is trying to compete with Stephen King, but not even coming close. The characters are poorly developed and the plot line is impossible to discern until the authors tell you what it is in the notes at the end. Nowhere in this offering did I ever get the idea that this is a woman's experience of purgatory or hell. The book completely unbelievable and there is no suspense at all. I am disgusted to have spent any money at all on this piece of garbage.Book Review: Don't Buy This Book
Summary: 1 Stars
My neighbor asked me if I wanted to look through a pile of books she was about to recycle and I grabbed several including "Don't Look Now". A few years ago I had read "Beach House" and liked it enough (although the ending was a tad far fetched)to try out another Patterson machine product. I read about 125 pages and although I like to finish any book. project etc. that I start, reading this book was just too painful. Poorly "written" and the characters just didn't interest me. I will NEVER read another Patterson factory style book. Quite frankly I felt a bit embarrassed for Patterson and the other "author" for having "written" such a piece of trash, but why should they care??? Undoubtedly Patterson is a very wealthy person...shame on the consumer for making this the case.
DO NOT BUY OR EVEN BORROW THIS BOOK! Your time will be better spent reading something that took more than a few days to produce.
Book Review: I LOVED THIS BOOK!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read James Patterson before and this isnt his typical novel. Maybe that's why I enjoyed it so much. This book keeps you guessing and draws you in. I especially enjoyed the morality coming to light in the end. Kristen had to face that she did bad things even though in her mind it was justified. It makes you take a good long look at your own life!
I would recommend this book despite other reviews.
Book Review: I thought I was losing my mind....
Summary: 1 Stars
This is the 2nd awful book I have listened to in the last week. I gave up on the first one (Santa Cruise by Mary Higgins Clark and her daughter).
I had to pick up the cover of the cd case and see if this was really James Patterson. Then I came to Amazon to see if it was just me. Now I see that it isn't. This books is beyond awful. I keep waiting for it to get better and it doesn't. There doesn't seem to be any point to what's happening and I don't even care to finish the book. I really hate having to give up on a book and two in one week is really bad. I'll see what I can do to get through it but it's going to be really hard.
Book Review: James Patterson Books Are Like Drugs
Summary: 3 Stars
I am not sure why James Patterson has such a hold on me and fellow readers. His books are so easy to digest and seem to be getting more shallow every new book. However I still find myself compelled to be the first in line to by each and every new book? Why, I ask myself...what could it be that I find so addicting?
You've been warned is a little different than his mystery / murder books. This is more of a supernatural book and like the 6th Sense if you know the ending than the entire plot is ruined. I am not a fast reader as in able to read a book a day, however I did finish You've Been Warned in one sitting. I was not able to put it down. My first thought after finishing the book was disappointment. But than I began to think about what the book was about and what it meant and the clues that were sprinkled trhu the chapters. The more I thought the more my mind changed. I guess to me it was like reading a short story in college and than the discussion afterwards and how every one had a differnt insight to the true meaning.
All in all this book is not the worst way to spend a weekend at home.
