- Disappointment
I found this book to be a bore.I was happy when I finished it.Gave it to a co-worker & told her to keep it.I think James Patterson should stop collaborating with other authors.I love his books but this is not one of them.Don't bother.

For one great example - trying not to spoil too much - Anaconda snakes do NOT swim in the Atlantic Ocean and sleeping on the beach in the Bahamas is NOT in any way risking being eaten by a large boa constrictor LOL.
