Judging is what we're all about here at Likely Stories. (This is the blog of a book reviewer, after all.) And I'm guessing Patterson will survive a few pokes and prods from a blog. (He is a best-selling author, after all.) But do let's keep it civil, people--and carefully proofed. Hey now. Judging is what we’re all about here at Likely Stories.

When one so readily judges others, especially very successful "others," one should be especially careful not to make a fool of oneself. As for eating the book with or without salt, I would suggest that stuffing anything in your mouth would be an improvement over your feet.

In big bold letters across the top of the front page it says James Patterson and in small letters it says Maxine Paetro. If Patterson wrote this trash I will eat the book without salt. James is appearently whorering his name out for a few bucks. This is as bad as stealing someone else's work. I am done with this guy. He can write but is he so hungry that he has to leand his name to trash? I just read a terrible novel call “4th of July.

He sounded like he truly believed he was the only one in the world who had ever written a book young readers could actually enjoy.
