Title: This is not the James Patterson I know
Review: The BEACH HOUSE, touted as the #1 New York Times Bestseller, is probably one of the poorest reads I have suffered through in years. The writing is immature and juvenile. The characters are poorly developed and incredibly shallow. The addition of the ever-present and always stupid local town cop does nothing to help this offering. I have long been a Patterson fan and can only suspect that this lightweight invention differs from his customary style because it is co-authored.In conclusion, if you never made it past the ninth grade you might find this book a challenging thriller. If, however, you have some appreciation of a truly fast-moving chill thrill, that is well written, AVOID THIS BOOK!
