The Beach House

Rating:
Summary: Trashy Summer read
Review: This is one of the emptiest books written by Patterson. It has glaring holes that leave the reader frustrated. This is a cheap attempt to capitalize on people's interest in how the rich live and reassure them that they wouldn't want to be rich. Save your money unless you want a quick read that leaves you empty.

Summary: Great read
Review: If you are looking for "classic Patterson" this isn't it but it is one of the best books I have read in months (maybe years).
Warning:::::it is very hard to put down!

Summary: A beach read
Review: This ain't Shakespeare, folks. This is what you want if you are sitting poolside in Rancho Mirage in the middle of the summer and just want to take your mind off the heat. No heavy meaning here, just simple good guy vs. bad guy stuff. Easy, fast and (dare I say it?) fun. The tone is just a little on the wise-guy side...just enough to let you know this is, as Graham Greene called some of his books, an "entertainment." Reviewers compare it to Grisham...I found it a lot more like recent Robert B. Parker.

Summary: You'll love the surprise ending!
Review: I love mysteries and surprise endings. This book will give you both. Great for summer reading! Another great summer read is In-Law Drama.

Summary: James Patterson's best yet!
Review: As all of James Patterson's books, I could not put it down. It was excellent. I believe it is his best one yet. I ran the gamit of emotions all through the book. I can't wait to share the book and will be anxiously waiting for the next one. Meanwhile, I will definitely catch up on the few I haven't read and continue to cook dinner with James Patterson in one hand and a spacula in the other.

Summary: Another Hit for Patterson
Review: This story is just another wonderful work from a brilliant mind. I really enjoyed how once again he gets you to feel for his charters with emotion or hatered. Any book that makes you feel anything is a sure win for me. He really makes you feel for the young lawyer in this story. I think some of his supporting charters could be a little stronger like his love interest. Just when you think you get to know them he cuts away from thier story. This is a very good, fast read and you can see why James Patterson is on the Bestseller list book after book.

Summary: How dare they
Review: The book was trite, superficial and a truly hard to believe story. Characters were totally unbelievable. The worst book I have read in a long time!

Rating:
Summary: Pretty bad
Review: James Patterson's books started out with bang and have slowly ended up totally flat. Bad - waste of time.

Summary: Hated that it had to end
Review: James Patterson did it again. The Beach House had me at the edge of my seat wanting more. I was so sad when I had finished the book I wanted more. I only wish he could write faster and get new novels out quicker. I can hardly wait for the next one.
