A review by amysbooketlist
Private London by James Patterson
4.0

In this James Patterson novel, the hero was extremely likeable, if not very predictable. Like most of Patterson's main characters, Dan Carter is a tough guy with a complicated past. Dan has a complex love interest which is ignored most of the book except one brief encounter, as is the norm with Patterson books. The story was filled with twists and turns, some I saw coming and some that took me by complete surprise. Essentially, this was another James Patterson book.
I have read a lot of reviews that have criticized JP books for being so formulaic. I take issue with this complaint simply because I feel that if it ain't broke don't fix it. JP is not the only author to take this approach to books. I'm sure we can all think of authors who do this, but off the top of my head Nora Roberts, Mary Higgins Clark, Danielle Steel and Nicholas Sparks. Anyone who buys any of these books knows exactly what they are getting and to complain about it after the fact is, I feel, unfair to the author.
All in all this was a good novel by Patterson. Not necessarily a must read but a fun one none-the-less.
