Another book down

Still not finished with Catherine de'Medici. I'm working on it though. Today I was reorganizing the bookshelf in our living room and deciding which books I could sell. I found a James Patterson book, an author I never read. So I decided to give up my snob mentality and read this book.

Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas by James Paterson.

I was so not impressed. The writing was juvenile at best. Also the author kept placing celebrity names and the names of "current" events which really makes the book seem dated. The story line could have worked but it was so predictable that only 2 chapters in I knew what was going to happen and I was correct. The author was also writing from two female perspectives and he obviously didn't know how to write with the voice of a woman. From what I understand this book came about from the death of his first wife and I have sympathy for that, but I just didn't like this book. The only reason I read the whole thing is because I feel bad about rejecting a book I didn't finish. If you do want to read this "story" please get it from the library and don't buy this. I still have no idea how it found its way to my bookshelf, but by Friday it will be leaving the house.
