AMAZING AUTHOR...... (0/1 people found this helpful)
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE JAMES PATTERSON BOOKS, THE FIRST I READ WAS 'ALONG CAME A SPIDER' (WHICH I BORROWED FROM A FRIEND) AND I HAVE NEVER LOOKED BACK. I'D LIKE TO WRITE A REVIEW FOR ALL OF HIS BOOKS I HAVE READ BUT THERE ARE TOO MANY SO I WILL WRITE A GENERAL REVIEW. JAMES PATTERSON WRITES IN SUCH A WAY THAT KEEPS THE WRITER GRIPPED FROM START TO FINISH, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'S COMING NEXT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALL HIS BOOKS, MANY OF WHICH I SELL AT A LOW PRICE, CHECK THEM OUT. THANK YOU.
No way on this earth is this worth reading! (20/23 people found this helpful)
personally i believe this is james pattersons worst book he has written so far! It is tedious mind boggling and has no story line! im sorry but avoid at all costs! not worth the time!
disappointing compared to his Alec Cross novels (64/68 people found this helpful)
I couldn't wait for the next James Patterson book to come out because I love his Alex Cross novels like 'Jack and Jill' 'Along Came a Spider'. His last AleX Cross left us hanging on the end of a phone line with the kidnaper threatening what he was going to do with Alex' missing girlfriend. So when I saw what I thought was the newest James Patterson at our local library I thought 'yes!' its the follow on at last, but I was very disappointed. Midnight Club has nothing to do with Alex Cross. It is a new character and a new plot. It was still based around cops but John Stevanovitch is the main character cop. Its a story of crime and corruption and a New York cop who with the help of a female journalist and his cop buddy set out to smash and uncover the members of a secret international society called the Midnight Club. A gun blast from one of the leading members of the club, St-Germain, and the most hated by Stevanovitch, leaves Stevanovitch for dead. If you want to know if he lives or dies you'll have to read it to find out. However, I found it very hard to keep with this book. It didn't grab me like his 'Cross' novels and I had to force myself to finish it.
Not very challenging... (16/20 people found this helpful)
This is very simplistic cop story where the good chase the bad - the variation here is that the cop is wheel-chair bound. (the author deals with this aspect well and it is clear that he has researched thoroughly). There is plenty of pace in the book and the chapters are of manageable size. However, the plot is simple, delivers few twists and is flawed in parts. This is a book for those who wish to escape for a couple of hours - it is not a book for those seeking a challenge or stimulation.
