    "Patterson does it again - never lets me down"
    If you could sum up NYPD Red in three words, what would they be?

    Really good read


    Did Edoardo Ballerini and Jay Snyder do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

    It was really great how the two voices were distinctly different


    Any additional comments?

    the only negative comment I have is that for some reason three times during the listening o this book it jumped back to the beginning of the book and refinding my spot was difficult

    "once you start it you will not be able th stop"
    What did you love best about NYPD Red?

    The twists and turns about the time you think you have the plot understood it adds a new turn.


    Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

    It did hold my interest . I found myself planing the time to hear a little mose of the book and then not wanting to put it down. When lisiting to a good book and when it is well read it is harder to put down than a paper book for me atleast.


    What does Edoardo Ballerini and Jay Snyder bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    They allowed me to enjoy the book with out feeling guilty that I should be doing something elce instead of reeding.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    no

    "Patterson is so tired he needs another ghost write"
    Would you try another book from James Patterson and Marshall Karp and/or Edoardo Ballerini and Jay Snyder ?

    This book was so shallow and predictable but yet so completely unrealistic...This was a sophmoric "effort".....


    What could James Patterson and Marshall Karp have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

    go back to the basic and do his own writing if he hasn't forgotten his inspiration.


    What aspect of Edoardo Ballerini and Jay Snyder ’s performance would you have changed?

    Make it realistic


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    None


    Any additional comments?

    I will not read any more of Patterson etal.....

    "MYSTERY LOVERS MUST LISTEN"
    What made the experience of listening to NYPD Red the most enjoyable?

    The entire book was very good compared to some of his more recent books.


    What did you like best about this story?

    Since I enjoy going to movies a lot it kinda scares me to think if they made a movie of this book I wonder if it may cause copy cat crimes.


    What does Edoardo Ballerini and Jay Snyder bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    "Not his best work, but entertaining nonetheless"

    This is another good book by James Patterson, but not his best work. It was entertaining but was over too quickly.

    "Stock and Trade Patterson"
    Would you consider the audio edition of NYPD Red to be better than the print version?

    NYPD takes a bit to get started up but it makes. The book spends a lot of time building the characters in the beginning of the book - good news is the pace quickens and keeps wanting to listen.

    "Patterson is washed up"
    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

    Does Patterson even write his own books anymore or are they all written by the collaborators? This book was cheesy and read like a B movie. It was over predictable and seemed like something I had already read/heard but with different characters. The characters had no character at all. Gone are the good old days of mystery and intrigue from Patterson novels of the past. I might continue with Cross books but no more Patterson.


    Could you see NYPD Red being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

    No. Too cheesy.

    Story
    "The hills for adults"
    This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

    If you want a light as air story with celeb detectives and N.Y as the center of attention, this might be a five-star gem for you.Maybe you hate crime thrilleren and want a read you can talk to lots of people about? Since it ranks as the second most sold book in the U.S. Chances are some of your friends have read it. The audio version comes with premium naratation which makes me sad to leave it half read.. This is a Chrome novel puffer up with celebriteter. I know: The hills did not contain any mordere. It is very much liké "The hills" due to the Hollywood feeling.


    Would you ever listen to anything by James Patterson and Marshall Karp again?

    It depends. On the plot.


    What does Edoardo Ballerini and Jay Snyder bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    They bring it all. They do their very best when it comes to giving this book a soul.


    If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from NYPD Red?

    Iwould make the murders melt into the action instead of placing them as a highlighted side-kick. Also: Since cell-phones are an important ingridient, I would include the Brand used and why.


    Any additional comments?

    I loved the sample: I am not big on thrillers unless we talk about Kyra Davis which I can hear over and over. I bought this because the sample gave me a chick-lit thriller which it is not. In fact describing it's category is very hard.

    Maybe I gave up too fast? I blame "The end of your life book club" this stunning read taught mé even thoughdue to reduced vision I an dependent upon audiobooks or friends reading out loud. With the help of Audible Inow can choose which books I wanted to hear.The end of your life book club taught me to use time on the books I consider to be good.
