Editorial Reviews about Honeymoon:
|
The honeymoon is over--now the murders can begin. America's #1 thriller writer returns with his sexiest, scariest novel ever. Hotter than The Beach House and scarier than Kiss the Girls, James Patterson's explosive new thriller introduces a bride who is beautiful, talented, devoted--and deadly. When a young investment banker dies of baffling causes, FBI agent John O'Hara immediately suspects the only witness, the banker's alluring and mysterious fianc'e. Nora Sinclair is a beautiful decorator who expects the best, and will do anything to get it. Agent O'Hara keeps closing in, but the stronger his case, the less he knows whether he's pursuing justice or his own fatal obsession. In a novel so compelling it reads like a collaboration with Alfred Hitchcock, James Patterson unveils surprise after surprise that will keep readers guessing until the last deadly kiss.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Great book on CD for the road
Comment: I found this to be classic Patterson and a great book to listen to while driving. A number of twists make this a fun read.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Waste of time
Comment: Terrible. Between Cornwell and Patterson I can't tell which has descended lower in terms of poor story telling. This book is pure marketing. No way this book would have been published if it was a first effort. What a joke! The fact that this is the same person that once wrote good books, he must be laughing out loud on his yacht in utter disbelief that anyone is actually buying and reading this crap while he makes millions. Unbelievable.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Co-written lameness
Comment: Usually, Paterson's books are the kind of so bad it's good. This book is just so bad, it's bad.
Besides the terrible writing and laughable dialogue, I wanted to read a book, not a prose version of "Snobby Rich" magazine. The "hero" was an obnoxious jerk. It's bad when you're hoping the he gets killed off by a sociopath.
Honeymoon is a snooze inducing waste of paper.
Customer Rating:
Summary: No suspense - none
Comment: This is another short story drawn out to look like a novel with loose ends that are left dangling. What was in the letter written by the mother - why did the mother kill her husband - etc. etc.
There were some plot elements that just made no sense at all; why was the fact that O'Hara's boss was also his ex-wife not reveled until the ending - does anyone believe that the FBI would tell a suspect that she might get 1.5 million dollar settlement from an insurance policy that does not even exist - etc. etc.
The character development was so thin and shallow that I never cared who might be killed, victims, villain, or FBI agents.
The best I can say is that it was an easy and quick read but with an ending that was definitely anti-climatic and disappointing.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Lame...
Comment: I generally enjoy books by James Patterson. Although they're not great works of literature, they tend to be short, entertaining and suspenseful. But after reading Honeymoon (co-written by Howard Roughan), the only word that comes to mind is lame.
Nora Sinclair is a drop-dead gorgeous, high-end interior decorator. She is also suspected of being a serial killer--murdering men to whom she is either married or engaged. FBI Agent John O'Hara goes undercover, representing an insurance agent. He claims that Sinclair's latest victim left her the beneficiary of a million dollar insurance policy. But in the course of trying to get Sinclair to break, the two end up becoming more involved than either of them expected. Will O'Hara become Sinclair's next victim?
Unlike Patterson's Alex Cross series, Honeymoon doesn't have much going for it. The plot is pretty lame, and the sub-plot was confusing. There wasn't a single character that I cared about or that the reader could grow to like (except for maybe a few of the victims). I also had to laugh in that my edition contains a reading group guide of discussion questions! That in itself was pretty laughable. The only reason that I gave it two stars is that there were a few surprises at the end that were somewhat redeeming.
So for Patterson, I think I'll stick to Alex Cross or his Women's Murder Club mysteries.
