I have started a James Patterson or Tom Clancy novel and put it down because the bad language gets ridiculous. I don't hang out with people who talk like that and wish there was a "cleaned up" version of these authors.

So when I finished the first book I went on to this the 2nd and it was just as good as the first. He is very much like James Patterson one of my favorite writers. I didn't want to put the book down, there was always something going on. The characters are great you feel you know them and like them. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes James Patterson or books like his. I can't wait for the next book to come out.Ceskahttp://findingselfbelief.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7993944993300859915.post-49365989310598431912011-03-17T01:27:38.489-07:002011-03-17T01:27:38.489-07:00I don't think I notice swearing one way or ano...I don't think I notice swearing one way or another.

Most people use profanity in certain situations and by not including this in your story, you are being untrue to their character. I am not in favor of excess profanity, but it indicates any number of things about a situation or a person.pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.com
