Beach Road
James Patterson and Peter de Jonge
"Beach Road is about a murder, and it's kind of an execution-style murder, and it's, I guess, a classic "Who Dunnit". What I like most about the book is the way the writers - I believe they are co - yeah, co-writers, do the point of view. The one thing I disliked about Beach Road is, it's pretty violent. Lots of people die, and the deaths are bloody. It gets - the contemporary world - It gets it right. It's as if it were written last week - the music, the tattoos and piercings, the names of current figures in politics. I mean it has Bill Clinton - the ex-president - shows up at some rally. So it rings true right now.
I would recommend Beach Road to somebody who likes a good page turner. It's - to the end. It has twists and turns. You think, you know, you think its ending. Something else happens. It's full of surprises. I would give this book - If five stars is the best, I would give it four. I think it has some stylistic problems, there - kind of howlers, you know, that need some editing, but it's real close to a great read. It's a page turner. It's entertaining. The dialogue is - it really rings true - so I'd give it four out of five."
