Summary: Slow book with horrible ending
Comment: The Midnight Club is a book that just did not thrill me for some reason. James Patterson is a great author and I have enjoyed pretty much all of the books that I have read of him, but this book just wasn't Patterson at his best. The whole book moved at a snail's pace that was hardly suspenseful at all. There are a few twists and turns in the book just to keep you reading but overall it was a mediocre at best book. John Stevanovitch the lead character is in a wheel chair, which is a pretty good idea. But I just didn't like how Patterson wrote about it and explained it to the reader. The love story in the book is needless and predictable. And now to the ending. This is one of the dumbest endings I have ever read and especially for James Patterson, which he is known for horrible endings. I thought it was rushed, anti-climatic, and very disappointing. If you have read enough books and watched enough movies, then you will keep waiting for more in this book thinking that "that" is not how it could end. I have actually changed my rating from 3 to 2 stars in the midst of writing this review now that I have gotten my thoughts out. If you like James Patterson, then this book is very disappointing. If you have never read him then don't start with this book because you might never try him again. But he really is a good author. The Midnight Club is another classic non-Alex Cross book from Patterson and is definitely not recommended from me. 2 Stars

Summary: Its good
Comment: In James Patterson's, The Midnight Club, Patterson uses a variety of literary devices to enhance his writing. First, Patterson uses just about every element of plot in this book. He uses rising action and complications to create vivid pictures of what is happening. For example, when Alexandre St.- Germain, the antagonist, is supposedly killed at the beginning of the book. This poses a complication because the "bad guy" is killed early in the book, or so you think. Also, there were many things that could only be answered through the climax. This rising action helped in creating suspense. Second, suspense was used throughout the book to keep you turning the pages. Wanting to know what would happen next. Further the short one to three page chapters assisted in producing suspense. These short chapters make it easier to read allowing us as the readers to get into a flow. At every thrilling and suspenseful moment the reader is forced to consider all possibilities. It is impossible to guess what will happen next. Last, Patterson is among the best at concocting riveting and exceptional serial killers while still manufacturing detectives who are heroic and complex. He reveals his characters personalities only through their actions and thoughts. Each character has a purpose and is used to make the book better. James Patterson's use of literary devices not only uplifts the books quality but also help the readers to understand it. Patterson shows why he is considered one of the masters of writing a true thriller.

Summary: New York Detective Battles an International Crime Syndicate
Comment: New York police detective John Stefanovitch is pursuing Alexandre St.Germaine, a leader of the Midnight Club, an elite, international group of criminals. When Stefanovitch gets too close, St. Germaine strikes back. He murders Stefanovitch's wife and barely misses killing Stefanovitch, but wounds him so badly that the detective is confined to a wheelchair. This does not stop the detective's relentless pursuit, even while fellow detective's are murdered. Finally, police and FBI undertake all-out war against the Midnight Club. The story is not up to Patterson's Alex Cross tales, but it is entertaining reading through the long battle between police and the Midnight Club.
