It was my first audio book. I didn't like the "audio" book at first. I mean the story I loved, but it was something very new for me to have someone read to me. But after a few chapters I reallllly enjoyed it. I wanted to keep listening. I was really taken in by the readers and the story line. It was a great book. It wasn't one that I would pick up and read and I got a free deal with emusic on the audio book so that is why I picked this one. I wouldn't mind reading this book myself another time. It really was great. The story and story line was very good. Great ending as always!
The book is on my top ten Patterson list, It kept me until the end in my seat but a little confused at times when he would review back to his dead wife but I got over that after the first few times.
Great book like most of Patterson's others. Intrigue holds the listeners interest. I usually listen as I drive...this book really helped to pass the time along the trip.
Love Pattersons writtings, this book will fill your emothions with anger, discust, joy, tears, and laughter. It starts out with the murder of the first lady and rolls into the events that surround the furneral as all the ViPs that attend the service are captured and held hostage, buy very brutal cast of USA militaries, gone bad. The Negociater has problems of his own while his wife lays dying in a hospital bed and their 10 children at home with the nanny, just days before christmas. The books starts out strong and works it way into your heart as paterson tells the tail of love, hate, and horror. BUY THE BOOK!! I give it two thumbs up and 5 star review. Cj Stewart of NV
