"What happened to Patterson"
This book lacks all of the qualities we have come to expect from Patterson. The story line is very sloppy, going to the point of forgetting the plot and the characters locations during the story.
James, where have you gone?
"W.E.B. Griffin"
I am a person who reads (listens) to many books. The books I enjoy most are those where the author creates a series of books and really builds on the characters. I have now sampled all of the WEB series and read, or listened to all of the Presents Man series.
All of the books have their special set of characters and the characters are built betwen each book. Yes, the books are slow reading. You need to really appreciate and "live" the characters lives. However, if you enjoy a great suspense read and really enjoy getting to know a character inside and out this is the author for you.
