    <body><![CDATA[OK, two of his books is enough. This book was so cheesy and just had so many corny plot twists it was unbearable. I still think he has the ability to keep the reader interested, but his lame plots and general corniness are just too much to bear. When it got to the end I was like, “Come on, don’t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77498135">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I loved this book! Of course I read it on a vacation where all I had to do all day was sit by the pool and read! Seriously exhilarating read, the moment you start till the moment you finish! It would make a great movie. Murder, betrayal, manhunt and love story all rolled into one exciting book.

    <body><![CDATA[I had never read James Patterson and this was the very first book I read of his. It was a good book to start with. Mr. Patterson has his series of books but I'm not that type that start with a series of books. It was a good book, nothing to complicated to follow. I also think it wasn't as elaborate ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50508026">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Actually, I really enjoyed listening to this book on CD- it's almost as if Pattersons' novels are meant to be read this way.  This is a book that i might not have enjoyed nearly as much had i been reading it - - -but audio listening was great!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another fast read by Patterson. I definitely liked this one more than the last I read, but it wasn't as suspenseful as most of his I like. It seemed pretty obvious to me why the missing painting was so important, but it threw me for a loop who had it.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another great book by James Patterson with lots of action, mystery and surprises.  One thing I love about his books is his style of writing that keeps you entertained, and I never feel like there needed to be editing done.  ]]></body>
