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.

Summary: LOVED IT!!!
Comment: I have always enjoyed James Patterson and, whomever he is writing with at the time. The character of Nora Sinclair was frightening but human, never enough of a monster to repel the reader, but, just enough of a monster to chill. While, our hero John O'Hara leaves you breathless, he also leaves much to be desired. This novel was JUST RIGHT on all accounts, with a little twist at the end.

Summary: honeymoonreview
Comment: ive recently began reading james patterson novels and i like how he gives away the killers names in the beginning and not wait til the end of the book to reveal them. with honeymoon I thought at first the tourist was another character and not john o'hara the fbi agent but i picked up on that o'hara was craig reynolds. This part was a little confusing I thought it was too much for one person to play. The blond in the book that was following nora i had no clue who that was til the end shocker! Overall although i like james patterson this isnt one of the books i'd recommend if you like more suspense and murder id give this 3 stars out of 5

Summary: Zero stars, reads like a traffic report
Comment: Honeymoon by James Patterson & Howard Roughan
Wow. I can't believe this won 2005 International Thriller of the Year. Because it's absolutely awful. Eight years ago, I used to read Patterson, but I just can't anymore. His writing style has turned into something unbearable.
Plot summary: (SPOILER INCLUDED)
Olivia Sinclair killed her husband, in front of her six year-old daughter Nora. Arrested and sentenced to life in prison, Olivia convinces everyone that she's mentally incompetent and ends up in a cushy sanitarium. Except, she's just pretending. Meanwhile, tiny Nora ends up getting kicked from one foster home to another until she becomes a black widow, a woman who repeatedly marries and murders her husbands, in the most excruciatingly painful way possible--poison. She ends up transferring a large sum of money and garnering the attention of an undercover cop/agent named O'Hara. He becomes her next victim. (It's okay, he lives.) Anyway, he puts everything together and they finally catch her, but then let her go because if they took her to trial, some very personal CIA/FBI/Dept of Homeland Security info that O'Hara is privy to would come out. So her latest victim's sister ends up poisoning her. Yeahhh. Okay, that was the only enjoyable part of the whole awful book.
What I hated (because I already told you the only part I liked):
--Every chapter is less than four pages, no kidding.
--Choppy sentences, terse description, and then an entire paragraph devoted to describing a person's appearance, a building's appearance, an airport's appearance, etc. in nauseating detail.
--Constant changes in point of view.
--A very long list of confusing characters given various nicknames.
--No feeling. Seriously, I like reading a story. This wasn't a story. It was like reading a traffic report, just the details, no feeling, and very choppy.

Summary: No more James Patterson for me
Comment: I think this will be my last James Patterson book. It's my 3rd and so far all of them have been cheesy and predictable. This one was probably the better of the 3, but still I'm left wondering how it is that all of these guys fall for Nora Sinclair and don't figure out she lives 3 different lives. Seems to me they'd eventually get suspicious of her constant travelling and inaccessibiity. As for the FBI's role in all of this drama, I genuinely hope they are not that nieve or dumb. It's hard for me to enjoy and follow a book that seems so unrealistic. And what's with all of the soft-porn scenes? I wasn't aware that I'd picked up a romance novel.
Overall I'll give it a 2 because it did keep me entertained, even though in some cases I was laughing at how ridiculous it got.

Summary: Omelette anyone?
Comment: Nora sinclair is a disturbed woman. although i liked the book it left me with some questions that never got answered like what was her purpose? She killed got money but never done anything with it so i didn't understand the point behind it all. The fact that Susan had a little mystery to her was great and so was John's even though i knew from reading what his identities were long before revealed. Overall the book kept my attention but i was expecting more from this celebrated author.
This was my first James patterson book and it won't be my last. I hope to be able to crank out novel after novel like he does some day. I can't imagine how he do it but somehow he does. The next novel i'm planning to take a stab at is the quickie since the commercials had me wanting to read it.
