Book Talk: 4th of July

     The book I’m going to be talking about today is called 4th of July by James Patterson and it is a mystery book. It takes place in California. The main character is Lieutenant of the police force Lindsay Boxer. She is your average woman. She is has blonde hair and is in her early 30s. She also has a love interest that is in the police force. The story starts with Boxer investigating a murder scene. The murder is similar to others that they had seen in the past couple of months. They find a car that was at every crime scene and they track it down. They open the door of the car and in the car was Sara and Sam Cabot son and daughter of their prime suspect Dr. Cabot.  The kids were crying a river and Boxer and her partner Jacobi were going to let them off the hook when Sara pulled out a gun and shot both of them. After she was shot Boxer pulled out her gun in self defense and shot Sara and Sam killing Sara and paralyzingly Sam. Due to that Dr. Cabot sued Boxer for wrongful death and the media is eating it up calling a murder and child killer. She has to overcome the trial and clear her name of the killings. The mood of the book changes depending on the scene. It could be disturbing, sad, happy, melancholy, or intense. Their isn’t just one mood to describe the entire book. The theme of the book would be Man vs. Society or in this case Woman vs. Society. Boxer is being demolished by the media and is trying to hold herself in court and her lawyers aren’t really helping making it one versus all.
     4th of July is a great book and I haven’t even finished it. I like the book because it is so out of the box. I have never seen or read a book about this. This book to me at least is different from anything I have ever read. I also like this book because it is interesting. You also don't know what is going to happen even if you think you know what's going to happen the book will throw a curveball at you. I would recommend this book because of how the story is. It is a story you may have never heard in a book before and it is interesting. The book will keep you interested in the story. You also won’t know what is going to happen. In my opinion 4th of July is great book and you should go out and read it.
