Book Reviews of The 6th Target

Book Review: Humdrum
Summary: 2 Stars

This is my first J. Patterson book, and probably my last. I wanted to see what all the brouhaha was about, so I picked one up at Walmart because it's set in San Francisco. Not only did his "research assistants" manage to get November's San Francisco weather totally wrong, there is just nothing to recommend this book. I suppose it is competent. Competently written as though by a high schooler--boring, routine, dull. Nothing stands out about it. There is no "voice" that I can see/hear...as though someone had taken a bad TV script and turned it into a "novel."

However, if it was a TV show, the TV watchers would be all over it with criticism, saying how boring that particular episode was. It goes something like "The sun was out. BLAM. He shot someone." Next chapter (the chapters are all 1-3 pages long, so there are 120 of them). I walked down the street. I Mirandized her. The body was on the floor.

I had wanted to figure out how this author became so successful. From the other comments, perhaps I should go back to earlier works? But there are so many other great fresh excited authors out there, why bother.

Summary of The 6th Target

When a horrifying attack leaves one of the four members of the Women's Murder Club struggling for her life, the others fight to keep a madman behind bars before anyone else is hurt. And Lindsay Boxer and her new partner in the San Francisco police department run flat-out to stop a series of kidnappings that has electrified the city: children are being plucked off the streets together with their nannies-- but the kidnappers aren't demanding ransom. Amid uncertainty and rising panic, Lindsay juggles the possibility of a new love with an unsolvable investigation, and the knowledge that one member of the club could be on the brink of death. And just when everything appears momentarily under control, the case takes a terrifying turn, putting an entire city in lethal danger. Lindsay must make a choice she never dreamed she'd face--with no certainty that either outcome has more than a prayer of success.
