Publisher's summary

Police officers shot

Detective Michael Bennett arrests an infamous Mexican crime lord in a deadly chase that leaves Bennett's lifelong friend, Hughie McDonough, dead. From jail, the prisoner vows to rain epic violence down upon New York City - and to get revenge on Michael Bennett.

Judges murdered

To escape the chaos, Bennett takes his 10 kids and their beautiful nanny, Mary Catherine, on a much-needed vacation to his family's cabin near Newburgh, New York. But instead of the calm and happy town he remembers from growing up, they step into a nightmare worse than they could have ever imagined. Newburgh is an inferno of warring gangs, and there's little the police - or Bennett - can do to keep the children safe.

Target: Michael Bennett

As violence overwhelms the state, Bennett is torn between protecting his hometown and saving New York City. A partner in his investigations, federal prosecutor Tara McLellan brings him new weapons for the battle - and an attraction that endangers his relationship with Mary Catherine.

A no-holds-barred, pedal-to-the-floor, action-packed novel, Michael Bennett is James Patterson at his most personal and most thrilling best.

It's almost like he wrote it himself

Would you listen to I, Michael Bennett again? Why?

Patterson has been soooo inconsistent lately...I wish he would stop co-authoring and get back to the stories like he started with. With this story it's almost like it was just him again. The twists and turns that he throws at his hero.get him into trouble at work and at home. That allows for a good story across the board.

Good Listen, Looking forward to the next one.

Where is the rest of the story? Its like literally listening to a 2 part book and getting only the first part... I hate that....

Great Book

James Patterson delivers another great Michael Bennett book that keeps you guessing all the way through. It is killing me that I have to wait for the next one to come out and can not download it now!!

Patterson has done it again.

Would you consider the audio edition of I, Michael Bennett to be better than the print version?

I always use to read the print first and pretend to mimic the voice. Thank to audio editions I don't have to any more. Now I listen to the book I love because of the great narrators. They really bring the books to life. The sound affects are the icing on the cake. Thanks to I, Michael Bennett , I prefer the audio edition.

What was one of the most memorable moments of I, Michael Bennett?

My favorite moment was when Michael realized he need Mary Carthine, not just for his kids sake,but as a part of life.

Have you listened to any of Bobby Cannavale and Jay Snyder ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not listened to them before, but I plan on it.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

One thing that made laugh is the way it ended, makes you wonder if Mr. Patterson is letting us know Michael Bennett will be back .

Any additional comments?

I think Michael Bennett is in a league with Alex Cross and I expect there will be a movie in his future.

I, Love This Book

Michael Bennett is such a great character, surrounded by great characters. Patterson & Ludwidge grip us with an exciting story that keeps you in your car, at the park, or where ever else you are listening. I actually opted off the express train, so I could listen longer. A fab book keeps you sitting on the edge of your seat during the entire time, and for some time after awaiting the next. Patience is NOT my virtue.
