"Very Electric"

Electricity has become an essential part of our daily lives. It powers our homes, our devices, and even our transportation.

From the moment we wake up in the morning and turn on the lights, to the time we go to bed at night and charge our phones, electricity is constantly at work.

It enables us to cook our meals, watch TV, and communicate with people around the world.

Without electricity, our lives would be very different. We would have to rely on candles for light, cook over an open fire, and use carrier pigeons to send messages.

Thankfully, we have the technology and infrastructure in place to generate and distribute electricity efficiently.

However, we must also be mindful of the environmental impact of our electricity use and work towards more sustainable sources of energy.

In conclusion, electricity is truly "very electric" and plays a vital role in our modern society.

Another of the early Pattersons.

His early works are quite distinct from his more recent ones. The chapters in these early novels are longer, which might seem a bit daunting at first. However, the numerous twists and turns within the story more than make up for it. They constantly propel the narrative forward, making it impossible to put the book down.

The cast of characters in these early Pattersons is also remarkable. It keeps growing as the story progresses, adding more depth and complexity to the plot. What's even more interesting is that their various demises are both surprising and erratic. You never know who will meet their end next and in what unexpected way. This element of unpredictability keeps you on the edge of your seat, eagerly turning the pages to find out what happens next.

In conclusion, if you're a fan of Patterson's works, don't miss out on his early novels. They offer a unique reading experience that is sure to delight and engage you from start to finish. Enjoy!

Too Confusing and Hard to Follow

Based on previous reviews, it seems that this is Patterson's second novel. Fortunately, he has shown a significant improvement. However, this particular book is still rather confusing. The story jumps around erratically, making it difficult to keep track of what is happening. At times, I found myself completely lost and not understanding the plot. There are many other excellent Patterson reads available that are much more engaging and easier to follow. Therefore, I would recommend skipping this one. It fails to live up to the standards set by some of his other works and may leave readers frustrated and disappointed.

This is the better Patterson book that I've read lately.

The plot is quite engaging, although it can be a little bit confusing at times.

However, this very confusion adds an element of mystery and excitement to the story, making it all the more captivating.

I truly believe that this book has the potential to be made into a great movie.

The complex characters and the thrilling plot would translate well onto the big screen,吸引 a wide audience.

It would be interesting to see how a director would bring the story to life and capture the essence of Patterson's writing.

Overall, despite the slight confusion in the plot, this Patterson book is a great read and has the makings of a memorable movie.

This is my first James Patterson book.

However, I can't say I was overly impressed with it. It wasn't horribly bad, and I did give it a 4-star rating, but that's only because of the last hundred pages or so.

Towards the end of the book, the excitement picked up significantly, and that's the sole reason for the 4-star rating. Throughout the book, I was thinking it would be a 3-star book, but as I said, the ending changed that.

I've heard great things about Patterson. I've heard that he's a great writer, but I'm not really convinced of that idea. Granted, this is only his second novel, but it wasn't so bad that I wouldn't give him another chance if I ever got my hands on another one of his books.

My grandmother is a huge fan of his, so I would like to like him too, but I'm just not sure. I may get a hold of another one of his books one day and try him out again, but that would only be if someone gave me the book to read. I wouldn't go out and buy one.

The writing style in this book wasn't entirely to my liking. It could have used a bit more detail, and it jumped around a lot. I like to be able to vividly picture what I'm reading, but I wasn't able to do that very well with this book. It was like a grainy photo for me.

And on top of that, I found two or three grammar errors in the book, which just threw me off a little bit.

Overall, while this book had its moments, it didn't completely win me over. I'll reserve my final judgment on Patterson until I've read more of his work.

[Great Disappointment]


I remember buying this book more than ten years ago. I was in a deep thriller phase and wanted to discover as many authors as possible. I remember really liking "Zoo" by the same author, which was adapted into a TV series. And for some reason, I finally wanted to take it out of my pile. I should have left it there...


I, who thought I was going to read a slasher, ended up with a boring and frankly incomprehensible novel.

Really, skip this book in James Patterson's bibliography. He has written much better novels!

This was probably one of the worst books of his that I have read in a long time.

Maybe it was the audiobook format, or perhaps because it was a bridge, but it was extremely difficult to follow.

You kind of didn't understand what was going on at any given point in the book.

It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't the best either.

Good luck keeping track of what was happening in the story.

I had to rewind and go back several times just to try to figure out what they were talking about.

Once I did, though, the story was not as bad as it was the first time I listened to it.

It seems that with more effort and attention, I was able to make some sense of it.

However, it still didn't meet my expectations.

Perhaps if I had read it in a different format or given it more time, I might have had a better experience.

Overall, it was a bit of a disappointment.

This was indeed a good James Patterson book.

However, there is an interesting aspect. About 5 pages before the prologue in this book, most of the chapters are dated to maintain a timeline.

This particular section is also dated, but it is a year after the rest of the book.

What occurs in this first part actually contradicts the events that take place later in the book.

Since I, of course, read that part first, it really confused me later on.

I am truly hoping that it was just a typo in the date.

If it wasn't a typo, then it creates a bit of a conundrum in the story's chronology.

Despite this, the overall quality of the book by James Patterson is still quite good.

The plot and characters are engaging, and it keeps the reader hooked until the very end.

Hopefully, this issue with the date can be resolved or at least explained in a way that makes sense within the context of the story.

I've read quite a number of James Patterson books.

However, this particular one was undoubtedly among the bottom 3.

I found it extremely boring.

The characters in the story were very bland and lacked any real depth or charisma.

There was no excitement or anticipation as I was reading through the pages.

The plot seemed to drag on and on without any real purpose or direction.

I was really disappointed with this book and would not recommend it to others.

I had expected more from a well-known author like James Patterson, but unfortunately, this book did not meet my expectations at all.

It was a real let-down and I will think twice before picking up another book by this author in the future.

Usually, I have a great love for James Patterson. I often turn to his books whenever I'm in need of a quick, easy, and highly entertaining read. However, this particular book left me with a completely different impression. I thought it was truly terrible.


I didn't sense that there was much in the way of character development. As a result, I found myself not caring in the slightest about what happened to any of the characters. The story was filled with a plethora of different names being thrown around, which made it extremely difficult to keep track of who was who and how they all fit into the overall storyline.


About halfway through the book, I really struggled to maintain my desire to keep going. In fact, I came close to giving up several times because I simply did not care anymore. It was a disappointing experience for me, especially considering my usual enjoyment of Patterson's works.

Dnf-ed 4% in.

So far, the books outside of the Alex Cross series and Maximum Ride that I have read, I didn't like.

This particular one was extremely choppy. It was as if there were strips of paper with individual sentences written on them, and they were just arranged in a haphazard manner to form a book.

The flow was completely disrupted, making it difficult to follow the story or get engaged with the characters.

The lack of连贯性 and smooth transitions made the reading experience quite frustrating.

It seemed like the author didn't put in enough effort to organize the content in a logical and coherent way.

Overall, it was a disappointment and not something that I would recommend to others.
