Read

I have finally finished the book that I spoke about the other day, it really is an easy read. But and there is a but, the book feels like its a draft for a longer book, it felt to me as if the author had run out of time and the manuscript was just handed in as it was. The because of who the author is the editor did not do a full edit on the book and demand changes.

Which I think is a real pity as I am sure the book could have been much better.

Before I forget the book that I have just read is called The Murder of King Tut by James Patterson and Martin Dugard.

I think that the book needed more time and also to be longer, that way part 2 of the book could have been better presented and done in such a way that this reader did not get the impression that this was a peace that had already been written and just the names changed, why I get that impression I just don't know but that's what I got. The parts that are set in the present might have been better presented as author notes or something like that, but the way that they have been present really jar's with the rest of the book.

As for how James and martin have decided there was a crime just does not ring true, when James describes a murder in his other books you get told far more about how and why, but in this book he does not do that, I found it was something that I missed.

Was I entertained?

The answer is yes, but I also came away feeling a bit cheated, like I had not been served the best meal or story that I think and know that James can deliver.

Anyway that what I thought your ideas and that may be different.

Books

I have just picked up a book by James Patterson that I thought he would never write, and I must admit that so far its been a good read, its a while since I have read one of his books and the thing that for me always takes a while to get used to is just how short the chapters are in his books. I must admit that the short chapters do not get in the way of the story it's just something that he appears to do. It certainly has not hurt his book sales from what I can make out.

Any way the name of the book that I never expected him to right is The murder of King Tut, I know it threw me as-well.

but the story is good the way that he is telling it is very different to what i expected but so far it appears to work for me, your mileage may be different.

So I shall carry on reading it just to see how he is going to pull off this subject in his style.

Am I being entertained? you bet ye.
