"Had to laugh when reading one of the reviews!

Patterson is one of the best authors EVER, excellent storytelling with characters that come to life and you can almost reach out and touch!

GOOD JOB JAMES PATTERSON!!"

"A good addition to the Murder Club series.

Patterson is back to his great writing style of mystery, suspense, maybe not a thriller but yet it is a good one and can be read in one day it goes by so quickly."

"Different than what I expected but very good. Nick is given the ablilty to go back in time by one hour increments to save the life of his wife but each hour puts a new twist on what is really happening until the very end. The end will shock you.

I never read anything from this author before and I might try another one."

"Good enough story but it seems to repeat a lot and gets a little bogged down with that in places and seems to take a long time to get it all connected, however, it is worth taking time to read and I'd recommend it."

"Borrrrrrrring, 50 pages into the story and I didn't know what the story was, couldn't keep my mind on it, it just didn't make much sense and after 50 pages didn't get anything out of it, so quit it. Good luck to someone else."

"first--the description says this book has 272 pages, wrong! it has almost 400 pages

second--in the first 50 pages it was so boring and I couldn't see it going anywhere

third--only the second book I've tried to read by Thrasher and now I have my doubts about trying another one"

"Reacher can really get into some situations, this time he gets on a tour bus with senior citizens just hitching a ride because it is winter time in the Dakotas and freezing, but he has no idea they would skid and get stranded in a town with biker trouble and he ends up in the middle of it----again---I really like Jack Reacher, he doesn't have a care in the world and travels with only what is on his back but his military training is always a huge help in every situation he gets in."

"I whole heartedly agree with Stef140 on her review on this latest by Koontz.

I was an avid fan in his early years but now he's not even in the top 10, his writing leaves a lot to be desired in the fact that his books are just descriptions page after page and it gets boring very quickly, and this is no exception--after 100 pages it was just boring trying to keep up and stay interested when each chapter offered not much in the way of a good ending that made you want to read more---1/2 star from me---boring!"

"Another great one from Patterson. A different murder weapon that I didn't suspect!! One of the best authors around!"

"I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it is a fast read, if you can sit down with it you won't want to put it down for a minute it for any reason! Patterson really earned this one--the characters are clear, the chapters are short and it goes smoothly from page to page and before you know it -- you're done!!"

"my expectation was high(too high) after waiting a long time to get this book it was a disappointment--it started out like a spooky ghost town mystery but about midway after the mystery has been solved it just takes on a boring descriptive(page after page) of the predictament they find themselves in and it gets tiresome of page after page of descriptions, and the mystery turned out to be not what you expect."


Abandoned Prayers: The Shocking True Story of Obsession, Murder and Little Boy Blue
Review Date: 5/11/2013


"Well written, however, you must have a strong stomach to read it--Olsen goes into too much detail with gay relations that no one needs to know and the depravity of this man, makes you wonder why a person like that is born."

"Good character in Smoky Barrett, if you haven't read this series then start from the first as the story continues in each book but each book gives you a run down on her life. She's had a rough life but she is a tough FBI agent."

"couldn't get into this one, too much repeat in just the first 100 pages, characters you can't like--a geeky Dad that acts more like a coward and a Mom that acts more like a shrew but the Grandpa is a hero and would be a more likable character even with his 'ghosts' he carries around, but I quit after a little over 100 pages because I just kept waiting and waiting for it to move on and I just lost interest"

"I didn't get very far with this when I just put it down--I hate politics and when I realized it was about that all the way through I lost interest real quick, might've been a good suspense but not if politics are involved!"

"Very good horror--Tyler High voted to become a 'charter' school and that would mean they were their own bosses, once that is establised the schools policies change drastically and what happens is just plain horror....."

"Barclay is right up there with Patterson! If you read one good book this year---make it this one!

From page 1 to the very last page will keep you turning the pages as the story unfolds and the twists and turns start, by the last few pages another turn will hit you that you're not expecting."
