James Patterson at his best. I like everything he writes but he has outdone himself on this one. Would like to se a sequel to this book. Would recommend this to anyone who likes to be kept on the edge of the seat with a story.

I was disappointed... but it was my own inattention to details that set me up. I didn't notice the "& Howard Roughan" part of the author(s) name(s) in the description & on the cover. I've found that when my favorite authors partner with another author, it's always disappointing. (i.e. Tom Clancy, Anne McCaffrey & others). Their talents are legend and should never be defiled by the partnership model. If James Patterson is not the author (and the only part of this book that suggests that he was is the short, 2- or 3-page chapters) then don't feature him as "THE AUTHOR". I find it deceptive.
My experiences with these books are that the book is written by the unknown author & the well-known author lends his name to the project (maybe/probably does a bit of editorial oversight) and the results are simply that... this unknown guy gets published and the reader gets disappointed. I feel like James Patterson has sold out.
This storyline starts with potential & sinks deeply into improbability (even in the land of supernatural fiction), creepiness and stupidity. The ending was so unsatisfactory.
Where did James Patterson go??? I want him back.
What's real and what's not?! Couldn't stop reading to find out what's happening to this poor girl! Easy read.

this is one crazy book! can see why some might not like it and it's not my usual style either but a quick, easy read with a twist at the end just when you think you know the ending.
This is one of the most unusual books I've ever read! Kept me on my toes through out.

Started out strange and didn't improve. It was extremely predictable and disappointing. I usally like Patterson's writing when he does not collaborate with another writer. I keep proving that to myself again and again. Too disappointing.
I did not like this book at all. I only finished it to see how it was going to end.

I love James Patterson, but I did not like this book. It was too bizarre....it was more like a Stephen King book. I guess it you're a King fan, you'd like this one. It was odd, creepy, and a little far-fetched. I read the whole thing thinking I might like it, but no such luck.
