Product Description:
How does it feel to be desired by every man and envied by every woman? Wonderful. This is the life Nora Sinclair has dreamed about, the life she's worked hard for, the life she will never give up. Meet Nora Sinclair.
When FBI agent John O'Hara very first sees her, she seems perfect. She has the looks. The career. The clothes. The wit. The sophistication. The tantalizing sex appeal. The whole extraordinary package - and men fall in line to court her. She doesn't just attract men, she enthralls them. If you dare.
So why is the FBI so interested in Nora Sinclair? Mysterious things keep happening to people around her, especially the men. And there is something dangerous about Nora when Agent O'Hara looks closer - something that lures him at the same time that it fills him with fear. Is there something dark hidden among the unexplained gaps in her past? And as he spends more and more time getting to know her, is he pursuing justice? Or his own fatal obsession?
With the irresistible attraction of the greatest Hitchcock thrillers, Honeymoon is a sizzling, twisting tale of a woman with a deadly appetite and the men who dare to fall for her. In his sexiest, scariest novel yet, James Patterson deftly confirms that he always 'takes thrills to the subsequent level' (Pittsburgh Tribune-Review).

Usual Patterson...hard to put down, enjoyable read, but nothing ground breaking. Nora was a likeable murderer. At times we could predict where the book was taking us but it still left us with enough twists and turns to keep the pages flipping.

This is the worst book I've ever read. I'm not kidding. It would pale in comparison to anything a high school student could write in a creative writing class. It KILLS me that there are TWO authors...two people put their heads together to mastermind this epic trash? Seriously? And what's with all the heinous product name dropping? And why are the chapters so freaking short? I love another reviewer's comment about the sailboat cover...maybe the part where they were on a sailboat was edited out, because that chapter only filled one page, instead of the massive FOUR PAGE chapters us readers are supposed to wrap our puny intellects around. ( phew! I need to take a break after reading ten sentences! Maybe I'll go have a pint of Ben And Jerry's Cherry Garcia Ice Cream while I write this review at my Macintosh Pro G5 With Dual Core Intel Xeon Processor!)
Insert expletives. Lots of them. I hate myself for reading this book.

I have always enjoyed James Patterson and, whomever he is writing with at the time. The character of Nora Sinclair was frightening but human, never enough of a monster to repel the reader, but, just enough of a monster to chill. While, our hero John O'Hara leaves you breathless, he also leaves much to be desired. This novel was JUST RIGHT on all accounts, with a little twist at the end.

ive recently began reading james patterson novels and i like how he gives away the killers names in the beginning and not wait til the end of the book to reveal them. with honeymoon I thought at very first the tourist was another character and not john o'hara the fbi agent but i picked up on that o'hara was craig reynolds. This part was a little confusing I thought it was too much for one person to play. The blond in the book that was following nora i had no clue who that was til the end shocker! Overall although i like james patterson this isnt one of the books i'd recommend if you like more suspense and murder id give this 3 stars out of 5

Honeymoon by James Patterson & Howard Roughan
Wow. I can't believe this won 2005 International Thriller of the Year. Because it's absolutely awful. Eight years ago, I used to read Patterson, but I just can't anymore. His writing style has turned into something unbearable.
Plot summary: (SPOILER INCLUDED)
Olivia Sinclair killed her husband, in front of her six year-old daughter Nora. Arrested and sentenced to life in prison, Olivia convinces everyone that she's mentally incompetent and ends up in a cushy sanitarium. Except, she's just pretending. Meanwhile, tiny Nora ends up getting kicked from one foster home to another until she becomes a grey widow, a woman who repeatedly marries and murders her husbands, in the most excruciatingly painful way possible--poison. She ends up transferring a large sum of money and garnering the attention of an undercover cop/agent named O'Hara. He becomes her subsequent victim. (It's okay, he lives.) Anyway, he puts everything together and they finally catch her, but then let her go because if they took her to trial, some very personal CIA/FBI/Dept of Homeland Security info that O'Hara is privy to would come out. So her latest victim's sister ends up poisoning her. Yeahhh. Okay, that was the only enjoyable part of the whole awful book.
What I hated (because I already told you the only part I liked):
--Every chapter is less than four pages, no kidding.
--Choppy sentences, terse description, and then an entire paragraph devoted to describing a person's appearance, a building's appearance, an airport's appearance, etc. in nauseating detail.
--Constant changes in point of view.
--A very long list of confusing characters given various nicknames.
--No feeling. Seriously, I like reading a story. This wasn't a story. It was like reading a traffic report, just the details, no feeling, and very choppy.
