Negative Positive
Title: after a decent start, this book just goes bad
Review: Every once and a while it seems that Patterson, or perhaps its one of his co-writers, pulls out a pretty good idea and runs with it. This is a concept genre, and as a concept, it is sort of interesting. The presidents wife is assassinated while eating dinner. It looks like murder. Only when she has her funeral at St. Pat's in NY, her memorial is over run by what might be terrorists. All of the celebrities and political power-houses are then held as hostage while the world looks on.I have to admit, this book had me for a while. As it unfolded, I was pretty interested to see exactly where it was going. However, once Patterson has laid out the entire concept, it feels to me like he did not know exactly where to go with it. In the end, the story becomes stupid and the writing becomes less cared for.I would suggest that you stay away from this book. Not good at all
