The President Is Missing
Not brilliant by any means, but a fun read and a real page-turner. I'm guessing that Clinton provided the details on the presidency and characters and Patterson drove the plot, but who knows?
I am so disappointed in this book. I love James Patterson and all his books are always a fast read. I bought this book when it came out on Monday and today it's Thursday and I am only on page 14 the beginning of chapter 2 because I keep finding things I could do instead of reading this book, like cleaning the toilet. The first chapter is so boring that I keep having to re-read it because I have already forgotten what was written. Funny thing is that I even skipped to the middle of the book and
Actually good! Im more surprised than anyone. When I first heard about this book a year ago I thought it was a joke. It reads like most popular thrillers, and Im sure Patterson wrote 95% of it, but the added voice of an experienced president shines through. Its not JUST a thriller, its a scenario of what-ifs. The commentary on how a president has to make tough decisions (they elect to avoid the phrase hard choices) is the most intriguing part of the book while the conventional edge-of-your-seat
This is a disappointing effort from this duo as I found this underwhelming. Mr. Clinton always has a penchant for wordiness, exacerbated in this novel. 2 of 10 stars
This is literally the most ridiculous collaboration I've ever heard about. And part of me desperately wants to read it solely for that reason.
3.5 stars'The President is Missing' is a novel about President Jonathan Lincoln Duncan, who's in a race against time to stop a cyberattack that would cripple the United States. It's tempting to compare fictional President Duncan with real President Clinton (who co-authored the book), and many reviewers have had fun pointing out that Duncan is an improved version of Clinton. Be that as it may, for my review I'll consider President Duncan a purely fictional character, made up by the authors.*****

This book is written from the point of view of the US president who believes that a terrorist attack is about to occur. He goes missing and assumes a disguise to carry out a secret mission to save America. (Nothing implausible there.) He is also dealing with a blood disorder, the threat of impeachment and a traitor in the White House. At least two of those plot lines were superfluous. There is a lot of boring political maneuvering, especially at the beginning of this book. Some chapters are alsoNot brilliant by any means, but a fun read and a real page-turner.
