Critique

One of James’s worst book !

16 March 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The plot is so poor it sounds like a parody. You expect the guy to wake up thinking he was dreaming unreal events, but no, it’s the plot. A version à la Rambo. So predictable and poorly written. Very disappointing

Beautifully different....

This was a beautifully shot, written and differently told cooking show. Really a short memoir of a chef.

Chef/Detective - Patterson's RETORT to Hallmark Cozy Mysteries?

21 February 2019 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

When I started reading this book, I got concerned that I had bought another dud by James Patterson. If you'e like me, you have bought a number of stories written by this man. The secret to his becoming the king of the bestsellers is his teaming with other writers, becoming the most prolific writer in modern times. Along the way, though, he has authored some terrific, fun stories, and some, shall we say, less than spectacular novels.

"The Chef" is a bit too talkative in the early chapters, bragging just a bit too much in regards to his abilities in the kitchen. Yet, I also have to confess that I would love to sample some of his fare!

POV: As we get further along, we are exposed to a great deal of page-turning action told to us in first person POV.

BLUSH FACTOR: There is only one eff word, but a goodly number of milder profanities. There also is a great deal of violence, and reference to sex, but not obscene or graphic in my opinion. I wouldn't want to read it to members of my parish or to youngsters, but that's just me. I did have a great deal of fun reading this novel and, I confess, I got a little choked up, sentimentally, near the end.

WRITING & EDITING: After a bit of annoyance at the opening chapter, I felt this was one of Patterson's better books of late.

BOTTOM LINE:

I rate this is a fun, almost spectacular, Patterson read.

Four stars out of five.

MY LAST JAMES PATTERSON BOOK!

22 February 2019 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

I don't know why I keep buying these. Every time I say to myself, this one will be better.But they never are. He's lost it. I think he's stopped trying. He'll put his name on anything. Stand alone book that part's right. I can't imagine a series of this ego-maniac. Supercop, Killer Chief, homewrecker.

Not James Patterson like !!

I am an avid James Patterson fan, but this book was not up to his normal standards, in my opinion. I guess if you want some interesting ideas for food dishes, it might work for you, but in my opinion the story was beyond stretching the imagination, and poorly written more like a new author trying to write their first book...

Was this a rough draft?

26 February 2019 - Published on Amazon.com

I have read over 90% of Patterson's books. I am always exited to see a new release! Being a Chef for over 20 years I was particularly exited to read "The Chef"... To say I was disappointed would be an understatement!

The first few chapters were fine but than the wheels came off Killer Chef. There was no plot development. The story was disjointed, uninspiring, and not believable. It was as if I was reading a rough draft that nobody bothered to proof.

Simply put...Amateur Hour. Not worth the money. Not worthy to have James Patterson's name on it.

The story is not believable in many regards and it is too predictable.

24 February 2019 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

The characters were too unbelievable, except the exwife Marlene. Really the wife of a wealthy, prominent restauranteur is going to come out to the food truck to flirt with the ex-cop? Not realistic, nor the husband's response of crying saying he is sorry to the cop for how he treated his wife, THEN, husband leaves the house and cop sleeps with wife in the married couple's bed, like, that same night?! Also, ex-cop is single handedly saving New Orleans!?! I thought it read like a lame soap opera. I gave it one star and even read the whole thing just because of the name Patterson.
