Eruption by Michael Crichton and James Patterson

 A volcano threatens to erupt and bury the big island.

This was okay. It might have been better if I was able to read it in a few long  stretches.  I was only reading a few chapters each night, so I was pulled out of the story over and over.  I also found myself flipping to the map each night.  I'm sure the map could be helpful, but for me it was another thing to interrupt the story.

3 stars.

Lies He Told Me by James Patterson and David Ellis

 David saves a man from drowning, and it's captured on video and goes viral.  This unleashes publicity that his wife and kids don't need.

I never cared about the characters and the action was pretty dull until the last 75 pages or so.

2.5 stars.
