I found it downright painful to connect to and/or have any sympathy for him. Speaking of the main character, he's another reason. And the fact that the main character is with the murderer throughout most of the book, there's no mystery of "Will he ever be found?" That makes it pretty impossible for there to be even a little twist at the end. You figure out who the killer is on the first page. One reason is that there is barely any suspense. Like other reviews and actual people I've discussed the book with, I too agree that there is a lot of gratuitous sex and gore, but that isn't what ruined this title for me. Swimsuit fails to even live up to this simple technique. They aren't very thought-provoking or seen as classics, but they are fun reads, indeed. But from my experience with Patterson and his slew of coauthors, I know that his books tend to grab on to you from the beginning, lead you through a suspenseful and twisty storyline, and let you off safely at the end. I wish I could say that I've read all of his books like many other faithful reviewers, but truthfully, I've only read about ten. Swimsuit is the latest book James Patterson has written.
