3.0 out of 5 stars What's the big idea?!, August 22, 2002

This review is from: Degree of Guilt/The Final Judgement (Hardcover)

I've read both books included here, The Final Judgment and Degree of Guilt. Both books are good, entertaining, legal thrillers. Patterson is a good author (although a bit liberal for my tastes), and I've enjoyed all his books.

But I can't understand the reason behind this two volume selection. Why is "Final Judgment" included. This was just released recently as the CAROLINE MASTERS paperback which was relased before that as FINAL JUDGMENT. It all seems deceptive to me. Patterson could have chosen another novel to include that wasn't already the subject of a con job to the public. How many ways can one book be marketed. First they change its title, then they release it in different form with the original title... I am losing respect for Patterson because of this deceiptful marketing.
