Lifeguard
by James Patterson and Andrew Gross
Critical Praise
Lifeguard
"LIFEGUARD is a fast-paced page-turner. There's lots of action and the reader will be trying to figure out exactly who's behind an all-out campaign to make Ned's life miserable if not extinct. This is the first James Patterson novel I've read --- but if this is representative of his usual work, then he has just won himself a new fan."
-- Bookreporter.com

"With James Patterson's usual short chapters and wild twists and turns, this book was a definite one-nighter. I read it in one night, unable to put it down."

-- Myshelf.com

"An author who delivers a good chilling bestseller every year must be an author of repute -- but for an author who delivers a stunning bestseller each & every month…-- what do you call such an author? A genius... If so, James Patterson is in a class of his own."

-- RebeccasReads.com

"I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the characters and will definitely add James Patterson and Andrew Gross to my list of must read authors. High tension suspense, superb characterization, and an action packed plot make LIFEGUARD a must read for those who enjoy a well told story with a high entertainment factor."

-- Romance Reviews Today

"The action is virtually nonstop, and there are several interesting twists before the story reaches its satisfying conclusion. LIFEGUARD is another great outing from Patterson and Gross, perfect for a day at the beach."

"You just can't put this book down; you have to keep turning the pages, reading the words as fast as the action itself. The fact that the storyline is complex and suspenseful makes the experience first-rate. Another summer blockbuster for Patterson, whose collaboration with Andrew Gross is always excellent. I highly recommend LIFEGUARD for your summer reading."
