Love this character
My second favorite Patterson hero. Cross being number one.
This leading character is so relatable and heroic, yet still remains a flawed human being. What a great series!
Excellent! Cop raising Ten kids! Grandfather is a priest! All original and fantastic!
Started reading it again from the beginning
I really love James Patterson books & I think he is a great writer. To be honest I read the book until chapter 8 & stopped because it was too dry & boring to finish reading. This is the worst book I read but James Patterson to date.
Awesome book. Twist at end was good.
This is a very fast paced read that hooks the reader right from page one.
The story line is excellent, extremely gripping and completely believable in our terrorist ridden world. The characters are excellently laid out and well rounded and they are all absolutely realistic in their attitudes and behaviours. Throughout the book the reader is all …
Great reading
Love this series!!!
I thought this book was excellent, a great story and easy to read
Great read
The story keeps moving to a powerful conclusion. Good Read
Loved the twists and turns!
The leadoff book in the Michael Bennett series.
From the first word you find yourself riveted to the page and the characters. You feel like you know these people or can identify their personality in persons you have met. Great build up with characters you can cry with and for as well as those that stir up emotions and thoughts of doing things you never believed you could.
it kept my interest all the way through
Love Everett in this series
Games Patterson is always good reading
Great Michael Bennett story … nice mix of family humor and realistic story line.
