A few days ago I've started the book 4th of July by James Patterson. 4th of July is a mystery book about Boxer, a woman in her twenties trying to find a killer. This book, I think is interesting because it goes straight to the action. The 1st chapter drives the reader right in to the story with what looked like a kid who committed suicide. They found him in a bathtub filled with water and with a toaster in it. Even though it may sound quite harsh, it made me want to read more.
So far this book has been action packed and filled with surprises. In most parts of the book it is in 1st person, told by the protagonist and in a couple of other chapters it is told by a narrator. Being that I am in the start of the book I'm not too sure what the main idea of the whole book is yet. From what I read so far I'm predicting that she's going to find the killer.
When I stopped reading last Boxer was in a car chase with a black Mercedes who she thought the killer was in, only to find out once the car crashed there were two kids the age of fifteen and thirteen. Boxer felt some sympathy for them and helped them out of the car. Once when she asked the girl for her learners permit the girl pulled out a gun and shot Boxer and her partner. Her partner was unconcious and Boxer got up and told them to put their gun down, but when they said no, Boxer shot them both in the chest, killing one and brutally injuring the other. Once Boxer got out of the hospital she was being sued by the kids parents.
In conclusion I think 4th of July by James Patterson was interesting because the book is litterally action packed. It is a great mystery book so far and I'm sure i will be finished with this book in time.
