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)

Very Enjoyable and Topical

I didn't know whether I would enjoy this book or not, never having read a book by James Patterson before, but I really did. Given that it was written some time ago, you can actually believe that something like this might happen. Dennis Quaid was fantastic as well!

Could be faster

A good read and typical James Patterson. Not as fast paced as his usual ones. Very Americanised and would expect to be a movie within a year or so. A good read.

A Superb story

I felt almost as if this was a story Bill Clinton would have liked to have been his history. No doubt his presidential insight proved invaluable in bringing this story to life.

A really enjoyable story. Let’s hope more follow.

One amazing thriller

One amazing book. Best book I have listens too. It is captivating and engrossing . The epilogue read by Bill Clinton makes is so real you believe it happened . Yet today in the front of the times newspaper such hacking events are there in the real world. Brilliant book so well narrated

typical American hero book

Interesting but not really all that surprising. I personally wouldn't reccomend unless your a big fan of the USA.

Not as interesting as I expected

I really struggled with this, finding it slow and ponderous at times. Not a waste of time but there are better out there.

Hmm... disappointed!

I was quite excited by the potential of this book, lots of big names involved, but the end result was disappointing. My main issue was that I found the president boring. He spends too much time pondering & lamenting everything and his internal dialogue is largely tedious. The start is also slow and the impeachment saga leaves me feeling like Clinton is unable to separate his personal frustrations with US politics from this fictional writing. If there is a next time, I hope Patterson can use his red pen a bit more!

Also, Dennis Quaid, who I’m very happy to watch on the screen, does not make a great narrator. His voice is too distinctive and lacks variety. I can see the appeal of using a famous actor, but really the professional narrators are much better! So, I fear his performance was the final nail for me, but ultimately the whole thing was hard work.

If there is a 2nd book, I’ll probably give it a go, but only because I hope they can sharpen it up next time... fingers crossed!

Fantastic Performance

Dennis Quaid and the supporting artists deliver a strong superb performance.

The story could be stronger and the diatribe at the end less but the performance of Quaid outweighs these short comings.

Brilliant Chaos

There's a lot going on but worth sticking with. Listen out for Bill Clinton's voice.

Brilliant story spoilt by the main voice

I loved this book, plenty of false leads and surprising moves . People you love, people you hate, often changing those roles from one to another. This would be a perfect 5 for me but in my opinion the main readers voice is terrible to the point of irritating. Makes you want to clear his throat for him. His voice changes for other characters are poor.

Love the story don’t like the voice
