Reviews

17 year old murder. The president’s husband. Love, politics and football

"Great book with all the twists and turns. Could happen in today’s politics. Great read"

Avid R. (5/5)

Clinton/Patterson The First Gentleman is a great read!

"Excellent read! Exciting, intrigue, twists and turns! Kept my interest going and didn't want to put down the book until I finished it. Would make an excellent movie."

Ronald 7. (5/5)

The First Gentleman

"Read this book in two days, couldn’t put it down. I have read the two previous books and enjoyed them very much. Can’t wait see another sequel come out."

B. P. (5/5)

Authenticity

"I really enjoyed the political authenticity. (in 2022 read the book by Louise Penny and Hilary Clinton)"

Elizabeth (5/5)

The First Gentleman

"I really enjoyed the storyline—it was an engaging and pleasant read. That said, it was fairly easy to figure out who the guilty character was early on, which took away some of the suspense. """

Fletcher (3/5)

Another winner for a great writing team

"When James Patterson and Bill Clinton collaborate, good reads always happen. Their last 2 books were winners and this new one joins the team."

TripleGGG16 (5/5)

Such a good read

"Hard to put down, hate to see it end. Hope there’s more to come"

Katie (5/5)

White House action

"Perfect for a fast read that pulls you in, wanting more. This is my first read by these authors and I will go back for more."

Judy (5/5)

The First Gentleman

"The book has funny, touching moments and some smart ideas about society. The story can be a bit predictable at times."

Brenda G. (5/5)
