You've Been Warned
Date undefinedFunny, the title should help you decide whether or not to purchase the book... I did and was grossly disappointed. I am a Patterson fan and have enjoyed his Alex Cross and Women's Murder Club series for years. Some on the non-series books are great, good or fair, but until I read "You've Been Warned" I have never been disappointed to this level.
The story is the result of taking half of Patterson's brain and marrying it to half of Stephen King's brain without the strengths of either author.
I'm warning you, do not purchase "You've Been Warned"!!!

Date undefinedThis book did not measure up to the usual standards that I have come to expect from James Patterson. It is fragmented, difficult to follow and extremely far fetched.

Date undefinedPatterson is such an unusual writer...his work varies from excellent to downright goofy. This book falls into the downright goofy catagory with an ending that might have you saying "Whaaa???". Fortunately, I got this novel from the library so I didn't waste my money on it (I would have given it 1 star if I had!). Extremely easy to read because it's all straight forward first person story telling except there isn't much story to tell. I read the entire book while on Jury Duty in one day. If I hadn't been trapped, I might not have continued with it although I will say that it wasn't boring (that's the kiss of death for me when reading) and while the story and characters were somewhat transparant, it held my attention well enough to see what happens and how close I was to figuring it out (I was pretty close!). I'll still continue to read Patterson because his track record has been good in the past but I'll get his books from the library and not the store.
