I was not at all impressed by this.

To be honest, it really didn't catch my attention or interest me in the slightest.

The content seemed rather lackluster and unremarkable.

There was nothing particularly outstanding or unique about it that would make me want to give it a second look.

In fact, I would definitely skip over this one without a moment's hesitation.

It just didn't have that certain something that would make it stand out from the crowd.

Maybe if it had been more engaging or had offered something new and exciting, I might have felt differently.

But as it is, it simply fails to make an impact.

I'm sure there are many other things out there that are much more worthy of my time and attention.

So, in conclusion, I would not recommend this to anyone.

A significant number of reviews have asserted that this book is distinct from the other works of James Patterson. However, in my opinion, he has done an outstanding job in constructing the suspense throughout the entirety of the book. It sent shivers down my spine each time I delved into its pages.

With every chapter, I discovered something novel that occurred in Kristin's journey, which made the story even more captivating and engaging. The only aspect that I wasn't overly fond of was the conclusion. Despite the fact that every single detail converges and ties together in the end, I still found myself a bit perplexed.

I suppose one will have to read it for themselves to truly understand what I'm referring to. But make no mistake, this book is most definitely worth the read!! It offers a thrilling and immersive experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

This was truly one of the strangest books I have ever had the pleasure of reading.

From the very first page, I was completely engrossed in its pages and found myself unable to put it down.

The story took me on a wild and unexpected journey, filled with twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat.

As I reached the end, I was left with a sense of profound thought and reflection.

The book had managed to touch on some deep and meaningful themes that made me question my own beliefs and values.

It was a truly remarkable reading experience that I will not soon forget.

Even now, as I think back on it, I am still amazed at how such a strange and unusual book could have had such a powerful impact on me.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a thought-provoking and engaging read.

The best way I can explain this book is that it is a truly lackluster attempt at crafting a story that might have aimed to rival the likes of The Twilight Zone or M. Night Shamalan. However, it falls short on multiple fronts. It devolves into a novel that struggles with the ability to avoid excessive rambling.

Kristin, a young nanny hailing from Boston who relocated to New York three years ago, finds herself deeply in love with Michael. He is charming, romantic, and embodies everything she could ever desire... and more. The complication lies in the fact that the "more" is his yuppie wife, Penleigh. Kristin is fully aware of Penleigh's existence; in fact, she is the family nanny.

One day, while near one of the large hotels, things take a rather strange turn. She witnesses four body bags being carried out, and to her horror, she sees one of the bodies attempting to escape. This incident sets her on a path where she encounters a series of ghosts from her past. As she endeavors to make sense of this terrifying situation where she seems to possess extrasensory perception, she discovers that the situation with Michael and Penleigh becomes even more intense, putting all of them in peril.

The question that looms large is whether Kristin will heed the warnings she continuously receives from the spirit world before it obliterates her and everyone around her.

Surprisingly, I do see the potential within the story. It indeed takes the concept of infidelity to the extreme, incorporating a moral lesson, which is the foundation of all great horror and suspense narratives. The issue, unfortunately, is that the tale jumps erratically from one plot device to another, leaving the reader bewildered and attempting to decipher what the authors truly intended with the entire thing. Consequently, the story spirals out of control, especially towards the end. As it concludes, the story appears to be grasping at straws in a desperate attempt to neatly tie up loose ends, but ultimately fails miserably.

3 Stars for You’ve Been Warned (audiobook) by James Patterson and Howard Ronghan read by Ilyana Kadushin.

Wow, this audiobook was truly unlike any other Patterson novel I’ve ever read. There is this mysterious supernatural element that keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the story. The narrator, Ilyana Kadushin, does an excellent job of bringing the characters to life.

The story features a seemingly unreliable narrator who you can’t quite trust. You’re constantly second-guessing their motives and actions. This adds an extra layer of intrigue and makes the book even more captivating.

Overall, I found “You’ve Been Warned” to be an interesting read. It had its moments of excitement and mystery that kept me engaged from start to finish. I’m glad I took the time to listen to it and I’m now curious about what else the coauthor, Howard Ronghan, has written. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for his future works.

I discovered this to be an extremely unique and captivating story. It's not the typical James Patterson that I'm accustomed to, yet I relished it just as much as a great Alex Cross novel.

The story essentially revolves around and is narrated by the main character, Kristin. Strangely, Kristin wasn't an outstanding character. As a reader, I felt no connection, no empathy, and no admiration for her. In fact, she seemed a bit irritating. The events that were taking place (or that she believed were happening) were both compelling and curious. The characters she met along the way varied from the slightly strange to the truly bizarre. The combination of these quirky characters and the escalating, yet consistent events made this an incredibly quick read.

It was as if I was drawn into a world where the ordinary was turned on its head and the extraordinary became the norm. Despite my initial lack of connection with Kristin, I found myself unable to put the book down as I eagerly awaited the resolution of the mystery and the unfolding of the events. This story truly had its own charm and allure, and I'm glad I took the chance to read it.

This is the worst book that I have read this year. I would have warned you.

It really disappointed me. The story was so dull and uninteresting. The characters lacked depth and development. I found myself constantly skimming through the pages, hoping for something exciting to happen. But alas, it never did.

The writing style was also very mediocre. It didn't engage me at all. I felt like I was just reading words on a page, without any real connection to the story or the characters.

I would not recommend this book to anyone. Save your time and read something else. There are so many great books out there waiting to be discovered. Don't waste your time on this one.

I was extremely disappointed with this book.

It was poorly written, and the plot was so convoluted that it was hard to follow.

It seems as if his Alex Cross and Woman's Murder Club series are the only good books he writes anymore.

The author's talent appears to have waned in this particular work.

The characters lacked depth, and the story failed to engage me on any level.

I had high hopes for this book, but it fell far short of my expectations.

I would not recommend it to others, especially those who are fans of his previous successful series.

It is a shame that this book did not live up to the standard set by his earlier works.

Perhaps the author needs to take a break and重新evaluate his writing style and approach.

Until then, I will stick with his tried and true series.

I truly enjoyed the short chapters and the brisk pace of this book. It had me completely engaged and on the edge of my seat throughout. The way the story unfolded was rather unique. At first, it seemed a bit unclear, and I found myself trying to piece together the various elements. However, as I got closer to the end, some of the谜团开始解开. Even then, though, there were still a few loose ends that left me with a sense of curiosity. But despite these minor flaws, I really liked this book. It was a quick read that managed to hold my attention and keep me entertained from start to finish.

Oh man and hooley dooley, this was an extremely unusual yet utterly thrilling page turner.

I found myself on the edge of my seat almost all the way through the story. It was so exciting that by the end of the book, I was panting and puffing like a crazed runner.

"You’ve Been Warned" by James Patterson and Howard Roughan is a highly interesting high-drama thriller. It combines elements of suspense and the supernatural in a unique way. While I'm not typically a huge fan of supernatural fiction, it确实 makes a nice change from time to time.

The plot is full of twists and turns right until the very end, which kept me engaged and eager to find out what would happen next. I absolutely loved it!

*Book ‘p’ of the a-z author challenge 2018.

Kristin Burns is actively engaged in pursuing her photography career, and things are not going too shabbily for her.

During the day, she takes on the role of a nanny for two children she absolutely adores. Additionally, she is working towards a relationship with a man she hopes to spend the rest of her life with. However, there are a few complications that need to be ironed out. For instance, the man she desires is already married. But really, in the context of love and war, everything seems fair game, and the wife is, in her opinion, quite a handful.

Kristin then begins to experience crazy nightmares every single night. These nightmares feel incredibly real and involve four body bags emerging from a hotel. As if the nightmare itself wasn't bad enough, Kristin starts to notice strange things in her daily life that make her suspect that the nightmare might actually be coming true. But who is going to believe such a far-fetched claim? Is she losing her mind? Could the secrets she is seeking be within her reach, perhaps through the lens of her camera?

I have had the pleasure of enjoying some of Patterson's work in the past. He has a couple of series that I follow religiously, and this one seemed to have the potential to be a great read. However, I found Kristin's story a bit difficult to follow. It was choppy at best. Firstly, her morals are clearly a bit skewed as she tries to justify the affair she is having. The random nightmares that intersect with her day-to-day life are interesting enough to keep me engaged in the reading, eager to find out what is happening and why.

Overall, I did enjoy the storyline of her life with friends, the kids, and even the guy. But the twists related to the nightmares felt forced and strange. And when the story finally came to an end, I was not left with a profound "AHA" moment but rather a sense of confusion and a "Wha?"

So, in the end, I would rate this one as an "Eh".

I read this book a month ago, and for reasons unknown, I held my review.

Well, I guess I know the reason now. It simply did nothing for me.

It is not a memorable book at all. In fact, I had to read the description again several times just to recall what it was about.

I truly love Patterson as an author, but sometimes his books are just average, and that is precisely the case with this one.

I'm never certain if it's because of the co-writers or just the overall style.

Perhaps it's a combination of both.

Whatever the reason, this book failed to leave a lasting impression on me.

I hope that Patterson's future works will be more engaging and captivating, as I have come to expect from him.

Until then, I will continue to read his books with a glimmer of hope.
