While I have made my sentiments known about the former, I find there are some gems when he chooses the right collaborator. Needing something a little lighter, I turned to this collaborative effort that James Patterson and Richard DiLallo published. I listened to the audiobook read by Anna Caputo and she did a superb job with the narration. In the book's last trimester, my eyes were rolling so frequently that they actually began to hurt. The book's "first trimester" was a 3-star read and the book's last two "trimesters" were 0-star reads. The bad news is that in the book's "second trimester", it faltered. The good news is that the book started off strong. Since "The Ninth Month" was being promoted as "not a typical Patterson thriller" and the book's "What happened to the missing affluent pregnant woman?" premise was intriguing, I decided to give the book a try. (Was this why the book's title was chosen?)Īlthough I had not read one of James Patterson's mass-produced/template "thrillers" in many, many years, I recently read and enjoyed James Patterson's memoir. Similar to the ninth month of pregnancy, James Patterson's "The Ninth Month" was painful and, at times, unbearable. Ask any mother and she'll emphatically confirm that the ninth month of pregnancy is THE WORST.
