Query: A Long Time Coming

James Patterson has rolled out some stinkers the past few years, largely because of his passing to 'co-authors' and the work has suffered. A lontime fan of Mr. Patterson's work before the turn of the century, I was exetremly pleased with the character Dominic Cavello and his hunters. The book was fast, light, and fun - perfect for beach reading. The only drawback: why the bump to $27.99? I feel like the word count is so low and the price to high, not to mention the fact that he writes five a year now, that you actually have to read the reviews before shelling out $30. Anyway, the book went by in about three hours and I was exhilerated. I couldn't dare recommend it, but I would never discourage someone from picking it up. One can only hope this fall's 'Cross' is as amazing as the jacket tells us.
