Book Reviews of You've Been Warned
Book Review: I don't need to tell you how great Patterson is
Summary: 4 Stars
Kristin Burns is on her person quest of the American Dream a career as a photographer of the stars a man to share love and life and children to fill a dream home. She thinks she's found the man, the children and the home and her photography career seems to be on the verge of success. Now if the wife would just fade into the shadows. Kristin experiences bad dreams, waking with screams. On her daily journey to her job as a nanny, Kristin sees her dream come to life. But as horrible as the event, there's nothing in the papers or on the news. Why not? She took pictures with her ever present camera, but there's something wrong with the pictures. The dreams don't stop and neither do the real life events. When a stranger comes up to her with a warning, Kristin is forced to take notice. Edge of your seat suspense alternates with heavy breathing and sexual tension that culminates in a stunner of an ending. I don't need to tell you how great Patterson is, so I'll recommend another great book you don't wanna miss--The Shack (Special Hardcover Edition) Book Review: Don't waste your money!

This book is totally disappointing, I have read all of Patterson's books, this one is terrible! I agree with previous posts, maybe Mr Patterson should be more concerned with writing a quality book instead of churning out 10+ books a year. I assume he makes a good living, no need to give the public such a mediocre book.Book Review: Loved the ending
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the book before the horrible reviews. While it is not my favorite Patterson book, it is not terrible! I did not find it confusing and I did not need the events of Kristen's life explained to me in the end, it made sense to me. LOLBook Review: Are you kidding me?

I've read in a few different places that Mr. Patterson has said he doesn't have a problem with writers' block because he has so many projects going at one time. Well, maybe this is the problem. You know what they say about a Jack of all Trades, right?
The Patterson novels are getting worse and worse with each release. Does he ever write his own books anymore? I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it's all these "contributors" that are screwing up these books.
In the past I would pre-order all his new novels. After I read You've Been Warned I decided that I'm not paying another penny for this trash anymore. If I happen to see some of his newest books at the library I might decide to check them out. But I'm not handing over another single cent for this drivel.
I see that there are at least two new Patterson novels in my recommendations list from Amazon. Both slated to be released soon. I'll bet that both are just as ridiculous as You've Been Warned.
I miss Alex Cross. I miss the ORIGINAL Max. Forget these bird-brain books written for 12-year-olds. Give me a sequel to The Lake House!
Fortunately Karin Slaughter is becoming more prolific. If you enjoyed Patterson's earlier works, check out Slaughter. She's fantastic!
Book Review: my first book by mr. patterson
Summary: 2 Stars
This was my first time reading a book by James Patterson and I didn't enjoy it. I was confused the whole time. Is she the devil, is she crazy? She is a weak main character, who runs around like a chicken with her head cut off. I mean c'mon you are having the same dream every night and it all starts to get really real, its unfolding right in front of you and you don't even try to figure it out or stop any of it. I just wasn't happy with it at all. If anyone can recommend a better book by him, please let me know. thanks
