Review: Let me start by saying that I have read almost every one of Patterson's books. I even enjoy his young adult books which I think are good for all to read. This book is HORRIBLE!!! If he and his writing colleagues plan to write any more like this one I am done!!! It is 3 terrible stories and violence that is not necessary. I understand when reading mysteries there is a little bit of violence but this was over the top. Placing dead cadavers split in half in a freezer - really??? what does that accomplish except violence for shock effect?. This is so far from Alex Cross and Michael Bennett I am in shock. Additionally the stories are not particularly well written. Yes there were 3 of them in this terrible novel. The main characters were sick and twisted but there was no explanation for why - no character development at all. If you continue to write like this - I think you will lose some of your most faithful readers.

Review: Multiple stories - probably none written by Patterson. If so - he has really slipped. I did not even finish the book. I left with about 100 pages to go.

Review: The first story in this book I had already purchased under a different name. The second one was OK. The third story was just terrible. It was a waste of money to buy this book.

Review: This is 3 unrelated stories. I wish I could tell before I purchase these; this is the second of third time I have been surprised to find 3 stories instead of a good old fashioned James Patterson. I will be sticking with the tried and true Dr. Cross, Michael Bernnet and Women's Murder Club series going forward.

Review: Stories were not satisfying. No logic of how the three stories were to fit together. Lots a lot with the raw endings. It's a shame Patterson doesn't go back to taking time and writing actual good books.

Review: I bought this book because it had over 400 pages. What a disappointment. Three short stories in one book! I hate short stories. He really misrepresented himself with this book. Bait and switch!!! And, the book i wanted to read was the THIRD story in the book. I stopped reading after the first story! He's pulling in the bucks from his readers by deception and he's giving us garbage! If I could give NO stars, I would have. Get with the program James, or just spend your time writing bookshots for kids!

Title: NotatallwhatIexpectedfromJamesPatterson
Date: Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2019
Review: Having been a long time fan of Patterson, I was horribly disappointed by this book. For one, this wasn’t a novel but a collection of stories, which was not stated in Amazon’s description as it should have. Secondly, the book’s co-author’s name was so muted on the image of the cover, I could not even see it on my Kindle. I had expected this to be one of Patterson’s latest actual novels. Lastly, the first two stories were so lame, so contrived, so much like broadcast television fare, I could not believe Patterson would allow these to be published under his name. As such, I didn’t bother reading any further. I felt ripped off. I understand why publishers resort to these “co-written” book series, just like when publishers give new authors pen names that are easily mistaken for the names of famous authors (yet another scam), but I avoid these because they always disappoint me. How about some integrity, publishers? And James Patterson, given your many years of success, why on earth would you risk your brand by allow your publisher to tie you to someone else’s work?

Review: Was very disappointed in this book — the first book was a 3+ but the other two books were both 1’s!! I usually thoroughly enjoy James Patterson books but this just didn’t compare to any of his previous books that I have read.
