As you may have noticed that most books I've read have only been one author, I'm trying to knock out all the James Patterson books so I can move them off my bookshelf to make room for more!

Roses Are Red by James Patterson. The "Mastermind" robs banks and holds the bank managers families till he gets what he wants. When people start dying all over the place it's up at Agent Alex Cross to figure out whats going on. A fun and easy read with a twisted ending that can be seen be seen coming from a mile away!
3 out of 5
It's funny how pretty much all his books so far I've said that the endings get predictable and yet I continue to read them. Oh well..

4 Down, 31 To Go!!

2008 Book Reviews to date..

Book # 1 -


Mary Mary by James Patterson is another in the series of the FBI Superagent Alex Cross. Based in Hollywood, CA a serial killer is targeting actresses with families. Or is he.. After a while the book becomes pretty predictable, but still not too bad.

4 out of 10








Book # 2 -



Lifeguard by James Patterson tells the story of a young man who spends his days working at the luxurious beach front resort, until he finds himself entwined in a series of murders. Fast paced and an easy read makes this a good one to keep handy during the upcoming summer beach days!

Book # 3 -


The Beach House by James Patterson is your typical murder, adventure revenge story. Wouldn't you want to find your brothers murderer? Especially if i was being covered up by the rich and famous in the Hamptons.. Be ready for an awesome ending!

Book # 4 -


A Thousand Splendid Suns, the second bestseller from Khaled Hosseini is the intertwining story of two families growing up in Afghanistan from the 1960's to the present day. This book shows the lives of many Afghani residents and their struggles through everyday life, from arranged marriages to the hardships of poverty.

A great read for anyone who has any negative connotations towards Afghanistan and its inhabitants. It'll show you that not everyone from there is a monster like the media makes it out to be.
