Disappointed

I really had high hopes for this three story purchase. I can’t even believe I actually paid for it! Quite disappointed. I’m a dyed in the wool Patterson fan but this didn’t quite measure up to my expectations.

Who wrote this book?

I have read numerous books by James Patterson and I am a big fan. I don't think he wrote this one. The story is boring. The performance is boring. The book is so slow that I gave up after two hours. Definitely not paradise. I didn't like the main character who is very ill defined. Don't waste your time listening to this one.

one out of three

The first two stores weren't very good. I wasn't particularly impressed by the narrators either.The last story was well written and the narrators did a good job of portraying the characters.

Incomplete

I have never given a rating like this to a book written by James Patterson. I did not feel that any of these three books was complete. What was actually written was pretty good, but it felt like he just decided to end the narrative all of a sudden.

Couldn't keep listening

The premise sounded good, but it just didn't hold my interest. The narration also didn't work for me. There was little difference between voices for characters, and the female characters may have been better voiced by a female narrator. Paterson is usually a reliable author, but not this time.

Surprised at 3 short stories from James Patterson

I am a big fan of the good guys prevailing and the bad guys getting their due. No so here.

Not worth the money

This is a series of three short stories. None are well developed or “thrilling”. Big disappointment.
