Summary: James...WHAT in the WORLD HAPPENED???
Comment: First off, I LOVE JAMES PATTERSON novels...however as long as 'Hide & Seek' is mixed in, then all bets are off. Patterson has an incredible talent for writing, and one of the best things about his novels are how he can get you involved in the lives of his characters, and how you even develop a liking for the bad guys as well...however in 'Hide & Seek' I just didn't care one whit about ANY character in this novel at ALL. It wasn't because I gave up on the story, either--nope, I read this entire story thinking that beyond the next page it was going to get better like his other brilliant Alex Cross novels. Now let me say one other thing, I DO NOT judge this or ANY other novel by Patterson based upon his previous novels, other than he has written so many great books, I figured even a poor book by Patterson was better than some other author's BEST work...not so here, unfortunately.
'Hide & Seek' cannot be compared to ANYTHING else that I had read by Patterson simply because it seemed as though it was written by another person altogether. Maybe I am so much of a fan of Alex Cross that I can't read anything that DOESN'T have him in it...but I discounted that theory because I have many other favorite authors who sometimes stray from their main carry-over characters and it has never presented a problem for me in the past, so I was just stumped here. Well maybe, just MAYBE it was because 'Hide & Seek' was simply not Pattersons best work...? I would like to think otherwise, but I think that this is the ONLY explanation that seems to make any sense to me. For those who liked this novel, not only do I envy you (because I really WANTED to...) I wonder why you actually DID? But in any case, I STILL think that Patterson is one 1st rate author (despite this book).`

Summary: Great book
Comment: I really like this J.P. book, mainly because I had only read the A. Cross books. I thought it was different and extremely SCARY. Non-stop thrill a minuet. The main character is sad and yet bold. Pattersons really has an understanding for the softer sided gender. Anyway, I know it was not one of J.P's fave's I had read a interview he gave, yet I would still recommend it, it was suspenseful.

Summary: It is good and scary!
Comment: Hide and Seek by James Patterson
If you want a fast, suspenseful, thriller of a read, "Hide and Seek" is for you. The excitement of this story expands as quickly as you can turn the pages. Just when you take a big breath and sigh in relief, Patterson turns the corner and starts building again, heading for the next curve in the road. You wonder if you will ever escape his maze.
After surviving the abusiveness of her first husband, Maggie and her young daughter set out to establish a new life. Maggie is an aspiring songwriter and singer. The hardships and trauma of Maggie's life are revealed through her music, and many people identify with the messages. There is a man, who could never quite shake a childhood experience, who hears her words and does whatever he deems necessary to find a way into her life.
Even though there seem to be some unfinished agendas in regard to a few of the characters in "Hide and Seek", the story prevails as it is.
It is good and scary.
