Summary: I'm surprised at all the negative reviews..........
Review: I have enjoyed RNP's legal thrillers and looked forward to this one. However, my disappointment matches that of the other reviewers.I had to assign myself fifty pages a day to complete this one. In a word it was a task. Confusing, way too dark, no sympathetic characters, boring and tedious. Mr. Patterson is capable of much better, so I kept reading hoping for the enjoyment to begin...it never happened for me. I was just relieved to finish. Someone once told me that "life is too short for a bad book." I think he had this book in mind.

Summary: One of the worst books I ever read!
Review: I have read many of Mr.Patterson's books and have really enjoyed them. However "Escape The Night" was absolutely unbearable. The story was unbelievable and the characters were confusing and completely unlikeable. I don't know what the author was thinking when he wrote this book. I just hope Peter Carey doesn't show up again. I'd take a book about Tony Lord or Chris Padgett any day over this book's wooden hero.

Summary: Another Richard North Patterson hit
Review: I read this book in 1994 and in the database I keep for the
books I read, I listed "Escape the Night" as excellent. I loved the young "rich boy" who faces his fears and becomes a man in this
suspenseful mystery. It is also a love story or rather several
different kinds of love story and the bad guy is really bad. It's "not too heavy, not too light" and I enjoyed it. Hope you do, too.

Review: I truly enjoyed the book and believed it to be one of his better books. I liked how there was rich character development and how the story was not so similar to his other books. The father/son relationships in the book really touched me. Its an interesting and tragic tale of love, betrayal and redemption.

Summary: UNBELIEVABLE!
Review: I've read a number of RNP's books and went back to pick this one up-If I didn't know better I would have sworn it was written by someone else. Hard to follow, and the charecters are totally unbelievable. Too many bad guys trying to be worse than the other.

Summary: This must have been written on a bad Tuesday.
Review: Not one of RNP's best works. Really slow and tedious. Peter Carey never became a real person to me. Story just plodded along. If Peter had edited this book himself, he would have left about 50 usable pages. Leave Peter Carey alone and give me more Tony Lord or Chris Padgett.

Summary: This must have been written on a bad Tuesday.
Review: Peter Carey has demons in his mind, preventing him from dealing with the family owned firm, his girlfriend, the death of his parents. The demons take on very twisted images in his nightmares and the problems are exacerbated by real demons from his past---men who will stop at nothing to prevent Peter from learning the truth. My only complaint was the constant shifting of focus--it became hard to tell one character's thoughts and actions from another. The ending of the book was written almost in screenplay form. It should be a dynamite movie! Just please don't anyone let Demi Moore play Noelle?!
Rating:
Summary: Two Stars Only for Ending
Review: This book had an interesting and complicated plot but the writing was often confusing and, in my opinion did not flow. The ending was exciting but to read 270 slow pages before it grabs you is not worth the time. I have read 5 other novels by this author that I really enjoyed. This one is definitely the weakest.
