Critic reviews

"The dream team delivers big time...Clinton’s insider secrets and Patterson’s storytelling genius make this the political thriller of the decade." (Lee Child)

"I felt like I was right along with the characters for the shocking twists and turns you’ll never guess are coming. Patterson and Clinton have created a truly unique character in their ‘missing’ President. The President Is Missing puts the listener inside the White House and inside the mind of a President grappling with extraordinary circumstances." (Dennis Quaid)

"Yes, The President Is Missing is fiction - it’s a thriller - but James Patterson and I have come up with three of the most frightening days in the history of the presidency. And it could really happen...These days, the seemingly impossible can happen. And it happens so fast. I believe that readers will not soon forget President Jonathan Duncan and his story." (Bill Clinton)

Sensationaism Well Presented

Loved the sensationalism. Good fiction. The authors capitalize on the current day threat of cyber attacks and convert it into a thrilling story. I won't be surprised if a Hollywood movie is created from this. But after all fiction is a fiction with no messages to take. The performance is absolutely superb.

Narration by Quaid is just too painful to listen to

Book is good, narration is terrible. Ended up buying it on Kindle, just couldn't make it past chapter 5 on audio :(

OK story, beyond dreadful narration

The female narrators were actually very good. As was one of the males. But one .... the one playing the voice of the president (Dennis Quaid?) was unbelievably bad. His interpretation of a female voice could only be described as a caricature. On the up side the story was interesting.

The President is missing, a compelling read

Loved it, but it can be a struggle if one is not politically astute... Bill..

A pity their editor lost the blue pencil.

Overblown and full of way too much trivial detail. Do we really need to hear every way a password can be entered for attempt after attempt. The plot is barely believable. The US president turns into a superhero again, but of course has the obligatory flaws. Overall pretty boring. The narration was flat, monotone, and just slow. Maybe, if you really want to try it, try using 1.5 speed.

Enjoyable

I haven't read a James Patterson in a long time, and enjoyed this one, The narrators were really irritating, but I enjoyed Pres Cllinton delivering the speech at the end, nice to hear him again!
The middle was a bit boring and not much happened, but I suppose that is how politics are ... lots of boring parts.
The end was not what I expected at all! Great twist.

A Scary Read

I think this is one of James Patterson’s best. It is scary because it is possible.

This is a new world & we need to create a much better ‘back up’.

Annoying

Arrived at Chapter 9, how I haven’t already returned this.
If I wanted a play I would go to to theatre.
The narrator changing every 2 minutes is beyond annoying, just read the book. I will probably return this and buy on Kindle.

what a let down

So un-James Patterson.

I forced myself to listen to the long-winded dribble and by chapter 88 when I picked up the phrase "now slow is slowly" I could not have agreed more. We finally got a bit of motion by chapter 100 or so and when the nail-biting (yeah sure) problem is solved in chapter 112 I sigh with relief that it is close to finishing. Incredible characters

Don't waste your time on this very boring tale. It could be set up and solved in 6 chapters and still not have lost any of the story.

I kind of expected more

I struggled so badly to finish this book. Oh it took forever for something to happen. I am really disappointed with this book. unfortunately, I would not recommend it
