Two Great Books and One Very Disappointing

travelin grandma — Tue, 01 Aug 2017 04:00:00 GMT

I just finished The Good Girl and The Silent Child. I could not put them down. Then I started one by one of my favorite authors -- James Patterson -- and I hate it. It's Diary of a Succubus. Had I looked up the meaning of Succabus, I would have known not to buy it. Oh well............ But give the other two a read -- they are psychological thrillers and fabulous.

Yep, I just looked it up and think I'd pass on it too. He must have found that word and just knew he had to write a book.

I used to look forward to new releases by James Patterson. Now I don't even bother. Most are co-written by someown else and he has branched out into subjects I'm not interested in. Even the Alex Cross books I used to love are not that good lately.

I make it a point never to read anything with GIRL in the title. Thanks, anyway.

@Judaline- you made me laugh out loud! All the "girl" books confuse me as well. And, if they're compared to Gone Girl, no thanks I'll pass!

@travelin grandma I am now reading "Silent Child" as you recommended and I am almost finished. I am enjoying it very much.

I gave up on him years ago when he started with his co-authors. LM

Oh my, me too. I read Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train and hated both of them. I made that my rule going forward too. I even include 'woman' in that after reading the Woman in Cabin 10. Hated it too.
