Forced to run away from his town and the woman he's fallen in love with, Ned knows that only distance and secrecy can save his life. But who is pursuing him? The FBI? Whoever sabotaged the heist?

My first read / listen of a James Patterson novel was a pleasant surprise!! Great story line with the mystery ending in a totally unexpected way. The extended epilogue provided a wonderfully warm ending despite the needless brutality that happened during the course of the story. Because of the awesome ending, 9 out of 10 for me!Oh my goodness, but this was bad! I love James Patterson, but I won't be looking for a book co-authored by Andrew Gross any time soon. And, guys? We are smart. Smart enough NOT to need you to repeat people's names in every line of dialog ad nauseum. It is one of my pet peeves. Like, "Ellie, did you know I was coming? Did you know I'd wait for you, Ellie? Will you wait for me... Ellie?"Bleh.Plus the plot made no sense. The characters were indistinguishable and hard to follow. And the whole
An art heist worth millions!!!Everyones in place and set! Until it all goes terribly wrong!!!!The arts gone, its already been lifted.Who took it, whos behind the theft, and who knew their plans?Lifeguard is an intense fast paced riveting book.James Patterson knocked this one out of the park.A heartfelt ending which might make your eyes water.
I was on holiday on beach and coincidentally found Lifeguard on the Hotel's book shelf. My first James Patterson Book. Lots of things happening at same time. Quite a lot of twists in the book. Though the end was not as expected, still keeps you engaged till the end. Surely, looking forward to read more books from James Paterson.

Then his cousin and three best friends ask him to help
This was an incredible book!! Definitely made my top favorites list. It was very fast paced with SO many plot twists!! I loved the romance too!! So touching! Definitely would recommend!!
LIFEGUARD (Pub. 2005) by James Patterson and Andrew Gross was a very entertaining read. I finished it in less than 24-hrs. It's written in the classic Patterson style with extremely short chapters, a ritzy setting in Palm Beach and lots of action and plot twists. Good stuff overall that will keep you flipping the pages to see what happens next.The story centers around Ned Kelly, who is a man in his late 20s that hasn't made the most of his life due to growing up in a family prone to crime
