"ok" story, not a fan of the reader

I've enjoyed a lot of James Patterson's books, but didn't find this one all that exciting, and I did not enjoy listening to this particular reader.

Very Entertaining

Entertaining book. I gather we’ll see the character of Killer Chef again. Makes city traffic acceptable.

He has done Soo much better

A very simple plot. Not up to Mr. Patterson usual depth of intrigue. I was waiting for more.

EXCITING CHEF

Loved listening to the captivating storyline. Couldn't put it down!! The narrator was awesome!! Ready for next book!!!

Interesting but slow at times

Story was interesting at times you pretty much knew what would happen next. Uni
gue concept for a character.

Great story

Love James Patterson’s books. I just wish he wouldn’t use God‘s name in vain and not use the F word so much. The narrator did not really fit the role of the character.

Yawn......

Struggledcto to finish. narrator's voice was annoying, especially when he was trying to mimic the female voices. Only finished because i paid for it versus using the credit.

great book

really enjoyed this book. the speaker did a great job. woukd highly recommend this book!

Too much rambling

I enjoyed this book and would recommend to others. However, I found that a lot of the scenes are simply too stretched out. Despite the theme of the book (terrorists operating in New Orleans), it does not more at a fast enough pace. I generally listen to unabridged books but, in this case, I think the the abridged might be more enjoyable. I found it a stretch that he is able to accomplish more than all the official agencies and that without him, the local police, the FBI and all the other agencies could not get anywhere until he gave them the lead to burst this plot wide open. I will say, it got exciting and fast-[aced in the last hour or two, but thee was too much extraneous material in the earlier parts. Still, I did enjoy the story and recommend it to others.

The Chef

James Patterson takes us to Louisiana in a thriller that kept me on my seat through the entire book.
