I’ll finish it, but

Revisado: 09-21-24

This is not the warm, friendly James Patterson I’ve come to know through a couple of his series and even a few stand alone novels. This reminds me of reading a Stephen King novel.!Similar disjointed scenes, creepy, mechanical characters, and weird mix of fantasy and real life, And to top it off, there seems to be a social issues theme coming into play. I will finish it though, to find out plain and simple. WhoDunIt.

Poor timing

Revisado: 05-05-23

I haven’t finished the book yet. So far, it’s fine. Not as good as the early part of the series, but I’m committed to the women and the family interactions are cute. What is very bothersome about this book is the vivid violence of the opening scene, and how it resembled a news article I read less than 24 hours eaarlier. James Patterson and his team have several series to their names, and likely well lined bank accounts. And they couldn’t see clearly enough to delay the book release by a week or two to allow some absorption and adjustment to the latest real life casualty event in this country?! What happened to respect for the public, law enforcement and victims? My first impression will definitely taint the rest of my read of this book, and possibly future purchases. I’ll come back when someone gets a grand kid!

Street Lawyer crossed with The Chamber

Revisado: 03-11-20

this book combines the setting, social issues, and texture of two of Grisham,s past bests. i am only a half hiur into the book and am so glad i decided to give it a try. it is nice to have old Grisham back grappling with the legal system and social Justice in avreal person tone.

The Twins!

Diana's twins are talking, and they are sooo cute! The story is engaging and interesting. Don't be discouraged by the (reactions to) the new narrator.

Maybe if it were shorther...?

I got the point of this story about half-way through; and not much happens after that. It just kind of trudges along. Also, the characters are not very warm or endearing. Would have returned it; but the site didn't give me the option.

A Bit Disappointing

Revisado: 02-24-14

Any additional comments?

I found the cultural references and descriptions in this book interesting. What turned me off was the author's "Uber" Western attitude. Why would you agree to take a multicultural trip around the world, and then critique and complain about all the cultures you visit?! Deal, Dude! It's free! The bus-driver in Chile wouldn't keep driving that way if it weren't somewhat successful?! The author should have relaxed into his experiences a little more and focused on the learning aspect. He also took an overly professorial tone when he described Black jack, and Niagara Falls, in detail--like the educated people who read these types of books need those things VERY carefully described. I read Mr. Wigge's next book in the series , about bartering (actually before this one), and it is better.
