I've just finished John Sandford's lates Virgil Flowers book, "Deadline,' the 8th book in the Flowers series, and yet another good read. This one didn't have the suspense of most of the other books, but it was filled with great Flowers behavior and dialog, brings back many of the series' characters from both the 'Prey' series and the 'Flowers' books, and kept me turning pages. As usual, Sandford keeps me waiting for the next book!
I've just started James Patterson's first of the series "Private," and I'm really surprised at the poor writing style this book is delivering, especially with its dialog. Very amateurish for Patterson. I usually enjoy his writing. This book is jumping around with half a dozen different sub-plots, and I'm really hoping he has some intention of bringing them together some how, but I'm getting the feeling that this is a collection of ideas that he'd been thinking about for separate books but couldn't flesh them out so tried to use them in this fashion. I'll finish the book, but if it doesn't improve will not continue with the series.
