"I sat down with it at ten on a Saturday morning...and refused to do anything...until I discovered that all of the things I figured out early were either wrong or not quite what I assumed."
"I can't believe how good Patterson is, whether he's doing a Washington police yarn or traveling a different road with a female narrator. He's always on the mark."
"Patterson boils a scene down to the single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It's what fires off the movie projector in the reader's mind."
"Patterson's prose style is smart...powering the plot along smoothly....Works to keep readers glued tight right to the end. A walloping good ride."
"[A] neat trick of an ending."
"A clever plot with enough Last-minute revelations to keep you guessing."
"James Patterson writes his thrillers as if he were building roller coasters. He grounds the stories with a bare-bones plot, then builds them over the top and tries to throw readers for a loop a few times along the way."
