Lucky for us Bill Clinton the former two term president of the USA continues to write with James Patterson. Former president Clinton brings Patterson to credible writing. If not for Clinton I would not be reading Patterson. The First Gentleman is a must summer read. Fast paced especially the courtroom scenes. A couple of bizarre twists and turns but I didn't care, I figured Patterson wrote them. Looking for the next presidential adventure.

I listened to the audible version read by Jeremy Sisto. Wow, It was unputdownable and very moving but also sad and disturbing.

The cast of a horror movie made twenty years ago gets together for a reunion, and a remake of the movie. Ella, the “final girl” in the original movie has disappeared from the acting scene and refused to make a movie or join in a reunion. Something awful happened during the first shooting only the cast members know about. Finally, she has agreed to shoot the film as a way to get back into movie making. What could go wrong? As the filming begins, old wounds surface, and then, people start getting murdered. A fun if not realistic read. I enjoyed trying to guess who the slasher was.

Maggie works in a bookshop in a town that doesn't allow new books to be sold. She works around it with the help of the townspeople.

I'm not saying this book is awful, it actually draws some interesting parallels between Vietnam and the Holocaust. It is with sadness I say that the gladness was sucked right out of me with the repetition and long draw out story

Insight into war and what Post Traumtic Stress can do and how it is handled

Keru and Nate meet in college. Keru, an only child, immigrated from China with her parents. Nate and his brother grew up in a white, rural working class community with their parents. Despite their cultural differences Keru and Nate marry. In this short novel, set in two vacation spots (a rental house in Cape Cod and a rental house in the Catskills) we get a glimpse of how this DINK couple learn to navigate relationships with their in-laws, neighbors, co-workers, acquaintances, and each other. Weike Wang is a Boston University alumni!

I really enjoyed this historical fictional novel with the backdrop of the beach at Martha’s Vineyard. They were all interesting characters and the author’s note is very interesting to see how the author tied it to history and her own life.

Another chapter in the Michael Bennett character series, this book does not disappoint. Blending the usual police thriller with Bennet's unique family situation, Patterson once again delivers a page-turner that is difficult to put down. A rash of retired police officer suicides may not be what they seem and the investigation intersects with another examining a string of deaths of drug dealers from various gangs. There are numerous twists and turns as Patterson and co-author James Born deliver another strong piece of the series.

Awesome Read. If you like the twists and turns that Freida McFadden uses in her book, you will love this read.
