"Let's Play Make-Believe" is one of James Patterson's BookShots, co-written by James O. Born.
BookShots is a great name for these series of books, geared to be fast-paced with high impact entertainment. "Let's Play Make-Believe" released in August is a novella, only 113 pages, and reads fast. This book has all the R rated elements for modern day Pulp Fiction, complete with sex, murder, drugs, money and betrayal.
Christy Moore and Martin Hawking, both in their 30s and each rebounding from a divorce, spend a wild two weeks together doing ecstasy, drinking, sexing and criming. Petty crimes turn to murder. Lust transforming to love for Hawking and Moore become extremely complicated, especially when deception is involved.
The quest for riches and love are the theme of "Let's Play Make-Believe." Hawking and Moore seem be hiding something from each other as the story goes on. Three stars for this book, it's not a great book, but the plot always leaves the reader curious till the very end.
