My year started off great with this serial killer spree! As usual best works from the best crime mystery author!

Not the best book out there, and the killer was a little ridiculous. Just read this from the dust jacket:

"A calculating murderer who calls himself the Teacher is taking on New York City, slaughtering the powerful and the arrogant. His message to them is clear: remember your manners or suffer the consequences!"

...Okay?

This made me realise why I dont read his books anymore. The plotline is dull although there were a few twists it wasnt mind blowing. The characters seem shallow and lacking depth.

Overall this book had some mystery to it but it wasn't as suspenseful as Patterson's books usually are. I would give this 2.5 stars if I could rather than 2.

Loved this book! It keeps you guessing until the very end. I like how he builds the plot line and keeps it going until the very last drop. I'm looking forward to the rest of this series.

I gave this book two stars because, while I thought the actual plot was pretty good, it didn’t really live up to my expectations. The characters were a little too mundane, in my opinion. Having said that, it wasn’t necessarily bad, but it really wasn’t good either, so for me it was about average.

The one thing I did like is the plot twist near the end. I kind of saw it coming, but it was still pretty good. The story is told from the homicide detective’s point-of-view as well as the murderer, which I thought was interesting because you get both stories as the events unfold.

This book was a pretty quick read, though, and I felt like I didn’t get a very in-depth story. It could’ve been longer and more developed, in my opinion, because, while the mass market paperback I have is 350+ pages long, there were 98 chapters. The chapters were a couple pages long with lots of empty space, so it went by really fast.
