This is the second book in the Michael Bennett series, and I'm not sure I'll continue reading them. It wasn't awful, the mystery was decent, if forgettable, but I really don't feel any connection to Bennett. If you don't want to know more about the main character in a series, maybe it's time to quit reading.

Lifeguard is a typical Patterson book. Short chapters, a fast read, but nothing memorable. I finished this one a couple of weeks ago and honestly cannot tell you a single thing about the book. It's books like these that really make me wonder why I keep reading Patterson...

Most Patterson books are very predictable. Beach Road had a lot of predictable moments in it, but the ending was one I didn't see coming. I don't usually analyze a book too much while I'm reading it. I prefer to let it unfold and let what happens surprise me. Others may have seen the ending coming, but for a quick summer read, I enjoyed Beach Road.

I have read many Patterson books in my life, but I honestly couldn't tell you about more than one or two. He's not the only one that is like this, but doesn't buy alot of loyalty with me!
Holy Patterson Batman! LOL
I have not read many Patterson. What I have read I have enjoyed but I guess just not to the point of being an avid follower of his work.
Sometimes I wonder why I haven't quit the Women's Murder Club series already and why I keep picking up Patterson books when I find them mediocre at best. I guess I look to his books when I want a quick mindless read. And I feel like after 8 Women's Murder Club books I've invested too much time to start now. Though if the the next installment was like the last, I might give up.

I really should proofread. I meant to say I've invested too much time to stop now. Oops.
