Guide Review - Beach Road by James Patterson - Book Review
Beach Road by James Patterson is the story of a basketball star in the Hamptons who is framed for murder. A local lawyer and former NBA player, Tom Dunleavy, agrees to defend the star and makes an attempt to win back his ex-girlfriend in the process.
The characters in Beach Road are not developed well and the plot is not very complex; however, Beach Road has all the elements of an entertaining thriller--conspiracy, courtroom drama, mystery, and just a little sex and romance. Patterson also throws in some celebrity cameos, which I found humorous.

James Patterson does not disappoint readers who are looking for a fun, mindless read. The book jacket promises a shocking ending. Indeed, the last hundred pages are the best part of Beach Road. They move quickly and make up for mediocre moments earlier in the novel.

Overall, I would classify Beach Road as a good beach read. It won't feed your mind or soul, but it is a good alternative to reality TV.

I LOVE READING BOOKS BY JAMES PATTERSON AND I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR BOOKS I DO NOT HAVE YET. I HAVE A LOT OF BOOKS BY JAMES PATTERSON THAT I HAVE ALREADY READ AND I AM LOOKING TO REPLACE THOSE BOOKS.

Excellent books by James Patterson, I have read the majority. I only have 3 or 4 more to read and I will have read all 51 of them. The real shocker was The Beach Road. As he writes them I will read them. A great writer and your will like them if you are a Mystery lover.

THE BEST ONE YET!!

I decided to buy Beach Road to expand my James Patterson collection. I thought that it was a little above average. It had plenty of potential with it`s mulitple viewpoint from some of the main characters, but it`s ending left a lot to be desired IMO at least. I would only recommend this book if you`re a hardcore James Patterson fan.

I wanted to take a few books with me on vacation. I love james Patterson books. I found a few on ebay and bought them. It saved me time and money - as I did not have to go shopping. The book was very good and I read the whole thing on vacation. Thanks
