I'm beyond bemused on the floor laughing how patterson's bio says "most trusted storyteller " MAYBE he was a real good writer 20。years ago 。But these days he churns out books likes hes a harlequin writer (but worse ) these days 。And his collaborators are no help。 It's a shame as the old books are fun and MOVED and were interesting。 Hes jumped rhe shark quite a while ago 。The last hideous one I tried reading (did not complete ) had 4 "chapters "( though I dont call 3 pages of sparse paragraphs th I'm beyond bemused on the floor laughing how patterson's bio says "most trusted storyteller " MAYBE he was a real good writer 20。years ago 。But these days he churns out books likes hes a harlequin writer (but worse ) these days 。And his collaborators are no help。 It's a shame as the old books are fun and MOVED and were interesting。 Hes jumped rhe shark quite a while ago 。The last hideous one I tried reading (did not complete ) had 4 "chapters "( though I dont call 3 pages of sparse paragraphs that repeats ones name 45 times a paragraph)of boring drivel。 WHY anyone would be tempted to try to。continue reading this boggles the mind and the "co writer" is another non interest 。。。more

Predictable but enjoyable with a little twist in the middle。 At first I thought that the almost 600 pages was way too long, but it was a quick, easy read and the pages flew by。

The President’s Daughter is a smart, taut, utterly fantastic roller-coaster that had me holding on for dear life: a combination of every parent’s worst nightmare — a daughter abducted by a terrorist with a scimitar — and the inside world of Washington, DC, (a place where, arguably, the knives are pretty damn sharp, too)。

*Actual Rating 3。5 Stars* [Arc provided by Little Brown/Knopf publishing as an employee with Barnes & Noble] The follow up from their popular thriller "The President is Missing", Patterson and President Clinton return with "The President's Daughter, a standalone thriller that follows former President Matt Keating, a former SEAL who has his daughter kidnapped by a terrorists who family Keating had killed during the first year of his administration when an operation to retrieve went sideways, and *Actual Rating 3。5 Stars* [Arc provided by Little Brown/Knopf publishing as an employee with Barnes & Noble] The follow up from their popular thriller "The President is Missing", Patterson and President Clinton return with "The President's Daughter, a standalone thriller that follows former President Matt Keating, a former SEAL who has his daughter kidnapped by a terrorists who family Keating had killed during the first year of his administration when an operation to retrieve went sideways, and now his daughter has been kidnapped in retaliation, and a manhunt ensues that puts Keating and his skills as both a former President and Navy SEAL to the test。 Like most Patterson books, the book has its moments of thrills and twists, and does a good job at being an entertaining book。 The main characters are relatively fleshed out well, and does play with the tropes of a political thriller - the "hate" of the DC establishment, the tech genius being a woman and an unapologetic "feminist" (though, very clear that this is written by a male author, because she goes out of her way to talk about various forms of sexism as part of her dialogue in the thriller), the savvy partner of the main character, a woman that he loves but who is able to handle herself and her being "different" from other women, etc。 While the Arc had several mistakes both grammatical and factual, I did find it interesting that the thriller was utilizing pop culture and some current events to maintain relevance。 For example, the commentary on the Palestinian - Israeli conflict, along with the softening of ties between the Saudis and Israelis, the Second Gentleman being embroiled in a scandal involving exploited and sexualized minors, a scandal with the Chinese during the Siege of Srebrenica, and a few others make some points stand out for the wrong reason。 An enjoyable read overall from Patterson and President Clinton, and a good follow up to first novel together。 。。。more
