A review by agentskrachel
The River Murders by James O. Born, James Patterson
2.0
This book...sucked. Majorly. Why were there 3 parts with yhe middle story being so unnecessary?
This entire book is just a preteen boys fantasy of his future self. A big, scary man who can do whatever he wants because people are scared of him. Assaulting strangers, breaking and entering, punching your brother just because you don't like what he's saying. And let's not forget how often the main character had to make it known that he hated his brother's career as a drug dealer. You're a navy seals dropout who delivers papers, no one cares about your approval.
If you need more proof that this is just a child in a man's body, how about the fact that he got jealous because his girlfriend sat next to his brother in a restaurant instead of him? Or that he stood her up for a date because of his stupid revenge plot, and then flew across the country without a single thought toward talking to her about it. And still had the nerve to bee upset at the thought of her getting with his brother. You can't be possessive AND stupid, it doesn't work out well.
I have no clue why I made myself read this whole thing, but this book is so unrealistic in a way that even fiction should never be.
