Welcome

[Jessica]

I have recently started reading James Patterson's books, after much coercing from my father and sister who have been reading his books for years. I am in the midst of the Women's Murder Club series and wondering what the heck took me so long to start reading Patterson books?! I love his writing style and plots. In a few short weeks I have become obsessed with reading his books. Please post topics about any of his books that are your favorite, least favorite (and why), etc. I can't wait to see what you think!

[Julie]

It's about damn time you realized your sister has great taste and wouldn't steer you wrong! :-)

[Brooke]

Jessica, I was thinking of making a JP group myself. I love, love, love his writing. I'm obsessed too! I have only read one complete book and I'm hooked. It was Cradle and All. Now I'm reading two of his.

[Meredith]

Looks like this group just started, so I'm happy to be in from the beginning. I started reading Patterson a couple of years ago and I really enjoy him. I've read the Cross and Women's Murder Club books, all except the last 2 installments of each. I have Cross in my 'to read' stack and I'll get to it and 6th Target sooner or later. I need to hurry up and read Cross since Double Cross is about to come out. I know he has other series too, but I really havent gotten into them.

I completely agree. I like his style too. I have also just started reading the Women's Murder Club series. I am hooked!!

[Jessica]

Thanks to you all for joining. I am glad to see there are others equally obsessed with Patterson. haha

[Kat (A Journey In Reading)]

I LOVE James Patterson. I started reading him several years ago, and he is my all time favorite author. Everyone knows what to get me for my birthday or Christmas (which by the way I got Double Cross for Christmas!!). They just have to do some snooping on my book shelf and make sure that I dont have the book already...lol

Now there is only one book from the Alex Cross series that I dont have. And everyone knows not to mess with me for an hour on Friday nights while I watch Womens Murder Club!

[Jessica]

I too got Double Cross for Christmas (as well as the Beach House and Lake House) so I have to hurry up and read the others so I can read it! I haven't started the Cross books yet. But I am almost done with the Women's series. :)

[Mandy]

I have read almost all his books, I think there is one that has escaped me. His books take up majority of space on one of my bookshelves. One day I have intentions to go back and read them again in order and in series, eg, Alex Cross, Women's Murder Club.

I got Double Cross and You've Been Warned for Christmas. Am reading Double Cross at the moment and it's so hard to put down to do some work, I can't get through it fast enough!!!

I'm from Australia and am so excited that The Women's Murder Club is coming out on TV next year, can't wait!

[Meredith]

Hi all - Meredith here! I don't remember what my first JP book was - but I fell in love with him last year! I finished The Quickie in about 2 days and just started Beach House and have read several others. Next is the Womens Murder Club books! So glad I found this group!

[Robyn]

Hi, I'm Roxy.
I read a bunch of JP books back in the Kiss the Girls days. Then I stepped away for awhile.
My book club selected "you've been warned" for this months read so I am sure I will be reading more JP books in the future.

Hello, I started reading James Patterson last year. I'm currently reading the 5th Horseman. It's a really good series. I stumbled on to his books when Alex Cross was in the Theatres. Also, I was playing his Women's Murder Club PC games, and that is how I started reading his books. I was curious about the Women's Murder Club Series, so I started reading it. He's a very good writer, and he's at the top of my favorite author's list. I read alot.

I agree with lots of your comments love his writing and a lot of his helpers.

Hi! Yes, there are four games out for your PC. Women's Murder Club games - A Darker Shade of Grey, Death in Scarlet, Twice in a Blue Moon, and Little Black Lies. I'm still playing Death in Scarlet and Little Black Lies.

[Shelah]

Hello all my name is Shelah. I am so very happy to have found this group. I am a huge James Patterson fan, I have many of his books and actively looking to read some of his newer works like NY/Red and Zoo. I look forward to the discussions.

[Rosie]

i just finished the little black lies game and a Darker shade of grey i have already played the other two! i sooo in love with the murder club books! i only just started them last year and already on the 5th one!

[Gina]

I don't know why but Death in Scarlet is my least favorite game. I just don't enjoy it as much as the others. I still haven't finished playing it. I really liked Little Black Lies and Twice in a Blue Moon.

Hi Rosie, I love the Murder Club Series too. I haven't read any others yet, but I love the four friends in this book. I read them too fast though. I'm starting book 8 soon. I started reading these books last year too.

I'm a big fan of James Patterson and love mysteries and thrillers. I read all of Patterson's series, except a couple for younger readers. It will be nice to talk about his books with other like-minded readers rather than those who only put down his constant writing.

Hi Kathryn,
I'm sure you are aware that I am one huge James Patterson fan. I have all his novels. The next book I'll be reading from him will be Unlucky 13. Just picked up my copy last weekend. Have you read Unlucky 13? :)

[[deleted user]]

Hi, Antonello. Yes, I remember that you are a big Patterson fan. That's how I saw that there was a group dedicated to him. I just read Unlucky 13 and I rated it 3 stars. The beginning had a lot of romance, which I'm not really into. Plus, Lindsay has become a little soft since becoming a mother and I'd like to see her get her edge back. The book did pick up toward the end and was fairly decent. I had just read NYPD Red 2 before that and that was excellent so I think that's what I was expecting more of. I'm anxious to hear your thoughts on the book.

[[deleted user]]

Hi Kathryn,
I also found Nypd Red 2 absolutely amazing. I am currently reading The Target by David Baldacci. Once I finish with that, I'm going to start reading Unlucky 13.
So, were there any surprises or twists and turns during the novel?
Have a wonderful day! :)

I think what turned the book around for me in Unlucky 13 is something that happens on a cruise that Yuki and Brady are on. Then things got a lot more interesting. That's all I'm going to say because I don't want to spoil anything for you. You'll have to let me know what you think. Is there a thread for that book? I'll have to check.

[[deleted user]]

Now I can't wait to read it. James Patterson sure knows how to keep his readers hooked. I will definitely keep you posted, Kathryn. Happy reading! :)
