Unfortunately, it appears that Mr. Patterson is no longer concerned about the quality of his novels, but rather in how many he can crank out in the shortest span of time. In Unlucky 13 he throws together three unrelated, basically outrageous plots, one of which is never completely resolved. The Women's Murder Club Series started out with some compelling and exciting stories, and developed four very interesting lead characters. The series is up to #13, but unless something changes, there won't be many more. The caliber of this book is not at the level I have come to expect from this author.
Throughout most of this book the writing was up to par for this pair. It was the end that fell short. So many loose ends or quickly written ends to the various story lines that it left the reader (me, at least) wanting more details. Left me with the feeling that they were tired of writing or up against the deadline so they threw together the ending just to be done with it.
What happened? I was reading along and suddenly it was over. Very unsatisfying. The authors rushed to end it and left their readers hanging. The authors should be ashamed. Great ideas, the storyline is compelling, but totally undeveloped.
What about the belly bomb people? Last we saw them Boxer was recommending the shutdown of the burger joints. That's it? Very disappointing.
I have read all of the books in this series and I absolutely love them. However, the ending of this one left me a bit confused. There were three separate stories in this book and only two came to a conclusion. Was this by design? If so, Mr. Patterson could of done a better job of ending it in a way that would of let his reader know that we would pick this up in the next book. The storyline fell flat and made me feel that the time I spent reading and investing in those characters was pointless. Other than that it was a good quick read.
The story was promising, but soon became too far fetched to be believed...terrorists on Alaskan cruise ship...and went down hill from there.
Several plots going on here--sometimes not very well connected, and the stories perked along until a rather abrupt ending. i would have liked a little less in the middle and a more well-staged, not abrupt ending.
An innocent looking traffic accident in peak hour San Francisco hides a terrifying and shocking secret. Two young Americans are found - quite literally - in pieces on the front seat of an all but destroyed car in the middle of multi-lane chaos stretching the full length of the world's most famous bridge.An initial investigation by authorities leads them to conclude that both victims had powerful bombs - horrifically, and impossibly - explode from within their abdomens. In one of the most compellingly written James Patterson books released for years, the reader will find themselves glued to their kindle screens to find out what happens next. And this is barely halfway through the prologue!The writing in this extraordinary novel is highly entertaining, perfectly plotted and very descriptive. The locations are vividly drawn in the reader's mind and absorbing this wonderful novel is a breeze (despite the subject matter) as a result. The characters are wonderfully created and represented and each one has their obvious strengths, weaknesses and demonstrations of what it means to be human. I know that sounds obvious but when reading a book of this nature, it is good to be reminded about the things that really matter in life. I am super keen to discover what kind of a person would do this. And to what end.This is one of the best James Patterson novels I have come across in ages. I regret not reading any of the previous books in this series, but at least I have a lot of great books to catch up on. Thank you, Mr Patterson, for giving us one of the surprise reads of the year.I hereby award this great book four stars.BFN Greggorio!
