Product Description
Kristin Burns is making her way in New York City. Her photos are being considered at a major Manhattan gallery, she works by day with two wonderful children, and the man of her dreams is almost hers for keeps. But just as everything she's ever wanted is finally within reach, her life changes forever--with one murderous nightmare. Kristin wakes up every morning from the same chilling, unforgettable dream. And suddenly, it's visiting her during the day too. As her life turns stranger by the minute, Kristin is haunted and terrified. Is it all in her head? Or is the nightmare becoming her life? Kristin searches desperately for what's real through the lens of her camera, only knowing two things for sure: that no place is safe and the fate of everyone she loves lies in her hands.

• A Truly Apt Title 18 June, 2008
"You've Been Warned" is an extremely apt title since you have now "been warned" that this may
be one of the worst books ever written. I really like Patterson and have listened to many of his
books but this is truly awful. Endless stream-of-consciousness blather by the heroine --
"Is it real?? Or is it a dream?" track upon track until you keep wondering if anything will EVER actually
happen in this book. Be warned: Nothing does happen. Don't listen to this while you are driving. You will
be so bored and frustrated that you may be tempted to drive your car into a tree just to stay awake.

This story could have made a very interesting book! But, unfortunately, the title of my review is what I felt about the book---- I kept reading waiting for the book to start! It was read in one sitting not only because I was looking for the story line, but because of the 306 pages (hardcover), there are 14 Chapters which equal 2 blank pages and 111 sub-chapters which are about 2 pages long and include a 1/2 blank page announcing the start of the chapter and 1/2 blank page at the end of almost all of these chapters! If my math is correct, this would have brought the total page count to around 167 pages! Maybe Mr Patterson should be investing some more time in his work and trying to keep his readers happy with interesting story lines that actually are "story lines."

• I Liked This Book! 18 June, 2008
I enjoyed this book. It was different from other Patterson books I've read, like Lifeguard, Honeymoom, Cross Books. I did figure it out half way through the story, but parts of ending were still surprising. I have to say I definately enjoyed it.

• Absolutely Disappointing!!!! 25 June, 2008
I love James Patterson and devour each book as it comes out. I am totally disappointed in this one. What a waste of time. It reminds of a time way back when 2001 A Space Odyssey came out. I kept watching it thinking something would happen. Well, I kept reading this waiting for something to happen.... nothing ever did. Don't waste your money.

• You Have Been Warned By Me, Don't Read It! 30 June, 2008
I have read several James Patterson collaborations (i.e., The Quickie, Life Guard, Beach Road, Beach House, Honeymoon, etc), and would have to say that this was the absolute WORSE so far. Because of Atlanta traffic, I often select books on CD that I usually wouldn't read, but am willing to listen to. You've Been Warned fit the bill. However, that was a huge MISTAKE and I have been regretting it ever since (although it is only 3 CD's and I kept hoping that it would get better)!
What started out as a decent (although not terribly original story), soon turned into a supernatural (?) thriller where the main character starts experiencing things that she can't explain. Kristin (nanny by day, photographer by trade)is having an illicit affair with her employer (Michael), and seems to be suffering from nightmares (of events to come or that have happened). Between seeing things that she can't explain, and guilty over the affair, Kristin stumbles thru the novel, either seeing dead people (who include her father, her pediatrician who molested her, a mean cop, and countless others) or having encounters with people who "warn" her (of what, we are never sure). The novel then continues to spin out of control with a lot of conversation about her camera (that takes odd photos), mysterious men (one with a ponytail), odd events (smelling burning flesh and having rashes), numerous cockroaches and other even unexplained events, with no real explanation, and when one is finally given...it really isn't and leaves the reader more confused than ever.
After listening to several hours of the story, I am still not really sure what it is about. And because of the lack of cohesiveness in the story, I did not really have an interest in the outcome of the story or even the character, Kristin (who I never disliked, but never liked either...at times she was a bit dumb). And with that said, I would never recommend this story to anyone.
