Summary: Poorly written and constructed
Review: Reasonable story idea but very poorly put together. Got some free used Patterson books from a friend, "The Thomas Berryman Number" was a similar type book about crime, but much better than "Season of the Machete".Guess Patterson was still learning with this book.
Rating:
Summary: Not on the same level as some of Patterson's other books.
Review: Season of the Machete was a bit disappointing. It might be a fine light read, but don't expect anything on the level with Jack and Jill, Kiss the Girls, or Along Came a Spider
Rating: 
Summary: Well... I liked it.
Review: Sorry I disagree with other reviews, but I really liked it a lot. I hate reading books but I kept on reading this one. The one and only problem I had was the barrage of events - too many to keep track of. A character will be introduced in one chapter, and then not mentioned again until after you've forgotten about them. I found myself on more than several occasions flipping through past pages to find out who the heck a person is. Then, when I ran out of pages to read, I still didn't know WHY everything happened. However, if you're looking for something murderous, bloody, and thrilling, this is the book to get.

Summary: Lousy, unbelievable, badly written.
Review: Sorry, simply cannot recomemnd.

Summary: all surface, no substance
Review: This book reads as if it were written in one marathon sprint, the plot racing from one bloody event to the next, with barely a pause for character development or background detail. What could have been an intriguing novel of mercenary killers and political upheaval is instead a throwaway pulp crime novel.

Summary: must have been one he wrote a long time ago
Review: This book was a complete waste. It was boring to read and hard to follow. I finished the book just see how it ended and hoping to clear up the confusion. I never should have read past the first chapter. Read Pop Goes the Weasle, or Lake House by Patterson. Just not this book. It is hard to believe it is written by the same author.

Summary: I would have put 0 stars

Summary: Not bad- good summer reading
Review: This is a basic suspense thriller. I enjoyed the read. It would be a good book for vacation reading or on a airplane. It does not take great concentration. It kept my interest. It is a very quick read. If it is a long flight, take another book. It is a little confusing as to the "Why".
