FIRST CLASS RAVES FOR JAMES PATTERSON AND HIS NEWEST #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
1ST TO DIE
“PATTERSON BOILS A SCENE DOWN TO THE SINGLE, TELLING DETAIL, THE ELEMENT THAT DEFINES A CHARACTER OR MOVES A PLOT ALONG. It’s what fires off the movie projector in the reader’s mind.”
—Michael Connelly, author of A Darkness More Than Night
“THE MAN IS THE MASTER OF THIS GENRE. We fans all have one wish for him: Write even faster.”
—Larry King, USA Today
“HIS CLEVER TWISTS AND AFFECTING SUBPLOTS KEEP THE PAGES FLYING.”
—People (Page-Turner of the Week)
“DELIVERS A SHARP PUNCH.”
—Chicago Tribune
“THAT RAPID-FIRE, IN-YOUR-FACE, YOU’D-BETTER-KEEP-READING-OR-ELSE FORMAT WILL MAKE YOU FINISH 1ST TO DIE IN ONE SITTING (barring World War III, a 9.1 earthquake or the Ebola virus).”
—Denver Rocky Mountain News
“PATTERSON KNOWS WHERE OUR DEEPEST FEARS ARE BURIED… THERE’S NO STOPPING HIS IMAGINATION.”
—New York Times Book Review
“Patterson’s prose style is smart… powering the plot along smoothly… Works to keep readers glued tight right to the end. A WALLOPING GOOD RIDE.”
—Buffalo News
“[A] NEAT TRICK OF AN ENDING.”
—Janet Maslin, New York Times
“A clever plot with enough LAST-MINUTE REVELATIONS TO KEEP YOU GUESSING.”
—Entertainment Weekly
“JAMES PATTERSON WRITES HIS THRILLERS AS IF HE WERE BUILDING ROLLER COASTERS. He grounds the stories with a bare-bones plot, then builds them over the top and tries to throw readers for a loop a few times along the way.”
—Associated Press
“A SLICK, TAUT THRILLER… Patterson keeps the pace moving at top speed. 1st TO DIE is a darn good book.”
—Orlando Sentinel
“A good story with a murderer as twisted as any Patterson has created—and AN ENDING THAT WILL TAKE READERS BY SURPRISE.”
—Newark Star-Ledger
“POLISHED, BRISKLY WRITTEN ENTERTAINMENT… DELIVERS THE SPINE-TINGLY GOODS.”
—Sunday Oregonian
“A SURE BET FOR A BESTSELLER.”
—Cleveland Plain Dealer
“HE’S DONE IT AGAIN… CLEVER KICKOFF TO A NEW SERIES… A GLEAMING MACHINE OF ANOVEL… Patterson… isn’t afraid to reach as a writer.”
