Second Honeymoon James Patterson Howard Roughan Books

I really like the Honeymoon books which I know many people feel are different than the books that he write by himself. However, I liked the first book in this series even though it is totally predictable to me (I have a writer's mind so many people might be surprised) and just had to buy this one, too. I actually liked this one a little more than the first one because I didn't have to guess whose point of view it was, but I was a little confused about the story line which might be because it jumps around between different points of view and different stories. Although the stories tend to overlap just because of the main character... and I will probably have to read it a second time just to make sure I understand the airport chapter better. I don't get a lot of time to read because of having two young kids so it's often late at night... but be prepared to have to pay attention and figure out who is talking at times. If you don't like it changing points of view then this may not be the best book. However, it was entertaining for me and I found out after I had read it that my Grandparents liked it, too. They love that we are reading the same types of books and they didn't have to push me into them! Lol.

Second Honeymoon James Patterson Howard Roughan Books Reviews

I know this because at the same time I was reading James Patterson's and Howard Roughan's Second Honeymoon I was re-re-reading Melville's Moby Dick.
James Patterson loves water and boats and the ocean and his innovative ideas have earned him a mansion by the ocean in Palm Beach Florida with every possible window looking oceanward...
During his lifetime.... or their lifetimes, none of the greats of the American Renaissance did so well.... the only way Melville could go to sea was to sign on to a whaler.
Patterson has never aspired to being a great American writer. He did advertising first and won some awards for ads that became famous in American pop culture. He has the slumped over posture of one who has spent a lot of time curled up reading or watching television. In Palm Beach, he's famous not for parties but for frequenting a fave hamburger restaurant and slipping across the bridge to hide out in a nearby movie theatre.
And why not? To his credit...Patterson wrote novels having discovered the secret of twitter before Jack and Ev and Biz did!
Short chapters. Punchy lines. And a memory that seems never to have forgotten anything he ever saw another writer do that he liked. From high culture to the ad culture that makes a stand in so much of popular culture.... James Patterson seems to have remembered it all... if it appealed to him, or attracted him for some reason. AND HE USES IT!

Second Honeymoon shows Patterson as a kid watching Saturday afternoon old movies tv & the adventures of Nick and Nora Charles. There's no dog but all the other elements are there. John O'Hara we've met before but introducing FBI agent Sara
Brubaker makes this a fun novel to read and there's no shortage of the usual twists turns surprises...

it's all farfetched.... as farfetched as solving two serial killer cases... and ending up on a gorgeous boat in the Carribean "just like Bogie and Bacall"... or on South Ocean Blvd in Palm Beach where the ocean greets you at every turn.

Writing bestsellers is not writing a great work of fiction...and reading for pure entertainment is not something any of the masters of the American Renaissance had in mind for their readers...nor Emily D either... all were a little too oblique for bestsellerdom.

Some resent Patterson's atelier system and some of his co-writers are better than others. You have to pick and choose... and since offers excellent samples for all of his books this is fairly easy to do.

The all time greatest character will always be Alex Cross... and that was totally written by James Patterson.But he also likes art and the masters of the Italian Renaissance... often used a system where they planned a work and painted some of it but then talented disciples(DaVinci and Michelangelo among them) filled in the dots. When you have more ideas than you know what to do with and a career in advertising that has taught you that words used rightly can equal money money money...
an atelier system is a good solution. Patterson probably writes the best 80pp highly detailed outlines in modern fiction.

So... Second Honeymoon... read Moby Dick when you want to... you'll find something profound and deep and come back to it again just as one does a great opera... or hate it forever as the case may be...
but for a fun romp...
when he's at his best solo or in atelier mode... James Patterson is hard to out think out guess out maneuver.

I love what he did in this with Sara and John. Both serial killer characters are interesting and surprising...as they rarely are in true crime and real life. Both protags are empowered... with courage and cunning and moxie and HUMOR... and we all have a little bit more of that along with forgiveness when we emerge from the Epilogue.

Nothing wrong with that... read the samples downloaded on your before purchase when dealing with any Patterson adventure as he likes to experiment...one of them will draw you in. That's the one to purchase. I've probably read 50% of total books published with his name on the cover and all of what he has done totally on his own.

I still think Alex Cross is one of the top ten protagonists in American crime fiction.
Recently, I must say I've been disappointed in Patterson, and this book continues that feeling. The storyline centers around people on their honeymoon being murdered , when the detective starts to investigate these murders it leads him down another path. The book is good but not the greatness I've been use to from old Patterson. Can you put this book down ... yes...will it keep you riveted to the see what's going to happen ....in 1 or 2 places but overall not....can you relate to the characters ....yes but some of their conversations are really hokey (almost like someone else not Patterson wrote them) ..... is it the worse book you'll ever read ....no .....

Don't feel it's worth $9.99, but down around the $5 mark...the one thing I found disappointing was the fact that while I was reaching the end, my was showing I was only 88% read, meaning there was 12% left to read, which I assumed was more of the story line, so here I'm thinking ok this ending was just too predictable but leave up to Patterson he's going to come up with something I can't see ....... WRONG...the book ended and left over 12% was a sample of his next novel !

Summary
OK plot + OK characters + confusing at points + short book with sample of next new book = skip it until the price is substantially lower
When a young couple on their honeymoon are found murdered, the wealthy father of the groom hires FBI Special Agent John O’Hara to investigate. A short time later, another couple on their honeymoon are poisoned in plain view of numerous people at the JFK Delta terminal while waiting for their flight to Rome. Special Agent O’Hara is soon thinking of a serial killer of honeymoon couples.
Meanwhile, the FBI’s attention is drawn to another curious set of circumstances when several men in diverse geographical locations are murdered. Coincidentally, all the men killed have the last name of O’Hara. FBI Agent Sarah Brubaker picks up this case and travels to the several locations where the victims were found.
What’s going on here? Two serial killers at large in the same novel? Two different FBI agents, one male and the other female, are both on the lookout for the killers? If you suspect these two parallel paths to converge you’re clearly a fan of James Patterson. The chapters are short and he has a ‘hook’ that pulls you to the next page.
A fun novel to read as the plot picks up speed but don’t take it too seriously. It goes fast and you can probably finish it before your plane lands.
