In the marvelous book, "The 4th of July" by James Patterson, there are no parts of the book that are boring. From the gruesome deaths to the dialogue to the killer himself. This book was an excellent book about how people aren't always who they seem to be. The short chapters of this book vary from a page to 3 pages, keeping you on the edge of your seat. But the thing about this book, is that they don't give you any clues to who is killing the people through out the book until the end.
What shocked me even more was the fact that the killer was the nicest person ever who worked in The Man in The Moon garage. His name was Keith and even the head of San Francisco Police Department was neglecting that he could be the murderer of dozens of people and several families. But the twist was he was going to kill Lindsay next.
He stalks people before he kills them, and he kills people for no reason! He just chooses them at random and kills them!
He was so nice to Lindsay who is the protagonist, he sold her a beautiful car, asked her on a date and everything! But if it weren't for Lindsays dog, Martha, she would probably be dead because her dog was protecting her from him while he was stalking Lindsay, that's when things got serious. She was going to arrest the guy but when she got close up to him and she put the cuffs on him she realized that he had been carrying a hunting knife...which is what he used to kill his victims. But she was even more shocked that it was Keith.
I like James Patterson's 4th of July because it was mysterious and action packed and twisted! An excellent mystery, and one of my favorite books!
Wow jabri nice post. I love the summary and how you showed your opinion in the first paragraph of the blog. I am also suprised that the head of the police department was a murderer. Why is the book called the 4th of july?
ReplyDeleteP.S is murderer a word.
No the police officers friend is the murderer. Also the book is called that because that is the day they find out who all the killers were. And yes murderer is a word... Someone who murders things.

ReplyDeleteYou did a really good job of telling me why you liked the book. Reading your post really makes me want to read 4th of July. I also like how you told me just enough information for me to understand what you're talking about while you're blogging. Great job :)
This was a great post!! You did a good job of telling your opinion in a way that would make other people want to read this. I really don't like slow boring books, but this book sounds really cool. When you said that there's no clues to who's the killer, I thought that if there was too many clues you would be able to find out who the killer was too easily. If you found out then there would be no real twist and it wouldn't be surprising. Besides that good post and I think I know what book i'm reading next. GREAT POST!! :D
