Not my style of book

Seemed to be all over the place and did not have a very good plot

the hero struggles

the book was an average super hero novel. Parton a series, it stands on its own. It was a mindless summer listen.

Disappointed

Not at all what I expected or needed. :( I am glad that I am done.

NOT a fan!

From the far-fetched story to the subtle not so political statements, this book was a miss for me! Usually I enjoy ALL James Patterson works!

How good won over evil

Although I have never read the Shadow series, and it's quite different from Patterson's " Alex Cross" series I enjoyed it. The Shadow was willing to sacrifice himself to save not only his family but als the world from total destruction. The adventures and dangers held my attention until the very end. Another style of Patterson well done.

Lame

Didn’t care for the storyline or characters. Usually love James Patterson. Just couldn’t get into it.

The silly fantasy

I dislike comic book fantasy. It was so far from reality that I had a hard time I engaging.

not my cup of tea

I am not the right person to review this. terrible narration. over the top story that jumps around so much then ends with a quick chop chop. I am not a super hero fan. if you aren't, skip this!

Book not what I thought a James Patterson book would be

Not into science fiction. No interest in the topic. Maybe it was the wrong book title?

Not Good

The story was just weird and not good. The person reading is was good but that was about it.
