Incredibly tense and thriller-like . . . I totally recommend it
*Lee Child*
The dialogue is punchy, cinematic . . . we get inside the mind of
Patterson's villain, the delusional Chapman, through periodic
chapters from his point of view as he works up the courage to pull
the trigger on Lennon

Pure Patterson: fast-paced, no-frills
*SUNDAY TIMES*
We do get the details of Lennon's last days. But we get plenty,
too, about his life before that, from childhood onwards. There's
also a distinctly thriller-like structure - to go with the
thriller-like prose - as Lennon's full story is interspersed with
increasingly sinister scenes of Chapman arriving in New York . . .
Patterson's admiration for Lennon is clear. Nonetheless, the
thoroughly researched biography does remind us again what a
contradictory and often troubled character he was.
