I finished my current book “Swimsuit” by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro. It was good. A good summer beach\/pool read, which is exactly where I finished it today – poolside. Not a literary classic but as long as I’m entertained and stay interested, I’m happy. That’s what summer reading is. <\/p>\n
Some of it took place on Maui. Sigh….a favorite vacation destination (well, that I’ve been to anyway.) When I think “vacation” I envision Maui. I haven’t been for a few years and desperately want to go back. <\/p>\n
In the book, it’s the site of violent rapes and murders. That’s definitely not so good. Yet somehow even with that as the background, as the writers described the lanais and the tropical breeze, hotels and beaches, I was happily imagining Maui, not a crime scene!<\/p>\n
The book takes quite a few twists and turns, some predictable and some not. If you like Patterson’s style of writing, then you will at least moderately enjoy this book. Even though he likely wrote very little of it, it’s got his signature. It’s fairly graphically violent though. <\/p>\n
