Rent: You've Been Warned

This book was amazing. I was on the edge of my seat through the whole book and was full of suspense and I truly was worried about the main character and thanks for clearing it up in the end. I just couldn't put it done.

Well Done! EC

This book was pretty interesting. It was a thriller with lots of suspense and a little scary for me. Maybe i am just weird, but i actually enjoyed it and i think it is much better than couple of the James Patterson books, such as Double Cross. With so much suspense, i could not put the book down. The story was simple but the twists and turns made it mysterious. I at one point thought Kristin was schizophrenic from the way she was in the book. Good read. !!

I've read a few James Patterson books, and at most would have rated them a three. In general, I found them facile, sometimes with interesting plots that unfortunately degenerated into plots for plots sake. Characters were either at most two dimensional, or pretty unsympathetic. His books left me cold; I took them out of the library when nothing else better was available.

This Patterson/Roughan is in a class by itself, at least among the Patterson books I've read. It can be classed magical realism -- where ordinary people in ordinary reality find themselves in fantastical situations. In this case, the protagonist (and reader) have good reason to question the definition and borders of sanity. The book is an interesting read for that reason alone.

The precipitating event is not enough for fantasms to tar the heroine to the extent that they do, in my opinion, but the heroine's kalidescope of experiences is internally consistent and, to my mind, fascinating.

I would have rated this a four considering the books I've read, but a five given the Patterson books I've read. After I took a look at other readers' ratings, I decided on a five. This is a book for people willing to broaden their expectations of an author's works. It deserves a lot more than the 1 rating many people have given it.

This was a fast read, even faster than usual Patterson books. That is because there's not much to this story. Its a weird plot and there's not much 'mystery' in it. I'm coming to expect to be disappointed with Patterson's co-written books.

I am a huge fan of James Patterson, but this was awful. I kept reading thinking it would get better, but after completing it, I unfortunately felt I had truly wasted good time doing so. If you love his typical edge of your seat writing style, look elsewhere. You will not find it here. Sadly, this book was beyond disappointing.

The real story must be whatever Mr. Patterson is going through to steep so low as to let books with this poor quality bear his name. That's a mystery thriller that needs to be solved.

If you would like a book that stays on course, is a thrill, and is a real page-turner, then you've hit the spot. I loved that this book stayed true to the story, and didn't disappoint me. A good, quick pick.

This offering from Patterson is so far afield from other books he has written that I wonder if he had any hand in this at all other than putting his name on the cover to increase sales. It is a terrible book and not worth anyone's time.

I read my first James Patterson book - The Quickie, and was impressed with the storyline and building suspense. This book, You've Been Warned, is not what I expected. The main character's dreams and daymares were too repetitive and the ending too supernatural for my taste.

This book was disappointing to me and must not be my genre. I never could quite figure out if Kristin was a psychic or something else. Evidently I don't appreciate psychological "suspense."
I have every book Patterson wrote, beginning with the Thomas Berryman Murder and this is the first one I wish I would have borrowed from the library.

I have read alot of James Patterson books and this was by far the worst. I couldn't wait to finish it and be done. It was a disappointment for sure.

I have read a lot of Patterson's books, beach reading, but this was a total waste of time. What's with all these associate writers? Can't he write a book alone, or is this a book factory? It is time for him to re-think this "profession". He should be embarrassed. This is dreck.

This book was not a typical James Patterson thriller, perhaps because it was co-written with another author. Throughout the book I kept trying to decide if it was the narrator's very convincing whiny voice of a clueless, self-centered nanny, Kristin, or her puerile and ongoing rationalizations that made reading this book a struggle. Endless chapters of Kristin's cluelessness and musings about the elicit affair she is having with the married father of the children she supervises become predictable and tedious. Toward the end of the book Kristin observes that she feels like she is in a scary movie in which the audience shouts, "You idiot - Don't go in!" The reader of this book will have the same urge to cut Kristin's obsessive commentary and tell her to "Get a clue!" and figure out the obvious.
