Matthew Keating, a one-time Navy SEAL - and a past president - has always defended his family as staunchly as he has his country. Now those defences are under attack.

    William Jefferson Clinton was the 42nd president of the United States. Under his leadership, the country enjoyed the strongest economy in a generation and the longest economic expansion in United States history. President Clinton's core values of building community, creating opportunity, and demanding responsibility resulted in unprecedented progress for America, including moving the nation from record deficits to record surpluses; the creation of over 22 million jobs--more than any other administration; low levels of unemployment, poverty, and crime; and the highest home ownership and college enrollment rates in history. After leaving the White House, President Clinton established the William J. Clinton Foundation with the mission to strengthen the capacity of people in the United States and throughout the world to meet the challenges of global interdependence. His Clinton Global Initiative brings together global leaders to devise and implement innovative solutions to some of the world's most pressing issues. He served as the UN Envoy for Tsunami Recovery and is now the UN Special Envoy to Haiti.

    4.0 out of 5 stars In spite of Patterson I loved the book
    Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I chose four stars because James Patterson was involved. I swore to never again to buy any more books by him after his shameless money grab when he ended one of his Alex Cross novels with not only a cliffhanger, but entirely without understanding unless you purchased the next installment. With that being said I was intrigued with his collaboration with Bill Clinton in "The. President is Missing" and did purchase one. It was an excellent read and was extremely factual and entertaining. For that reason I also purchased this one and it does not disappoint. It also has a ring of truth to it and is very readable and entertaining. Nice bite sized chapters so you can take a break if needed without losing your train of thought. But you will not want to take many breaks as it is hard to put down

    5.0 out of 5 stars Dramatic and compelling, a solid thriller told from several perspectives
    Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2021
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    The President's Daughter is a compelling, action-packed thriller from James Patterson and former President Bill Clinton. Here are my thoughts immediately after reading, with no spoilers:

    The book is divided into five parts and an epilogue, with a total of 136 chapters, and just under 600 pages of story. As you can imagine with that many chapters, each one is pretty short, at just a few pages. The setting or perspective often changes with a new chapter, so the story is slowly built up from different angles.

    The book starts out right away with descriptions of some brutal and dramatic events in the first chapter. The extreme nature of the antagonist is established, and some gruesome details are used to really portray him as a terrible enemy.

    Starting with Chapter 4 we get some chapters that are written in the first person from our protagonist President Matt Keating's perspective. There are a few details that I noticed right away that showed the possible influences of President Clinton on the story; including that President Keating's daughter attending Sidwell Friends School, the same school that President Clinton's daughter Chelsea actually attended when he was in office. The first person perspective of these chapters serves to really put the reader in President Keating's shoes, and made it easier to feel invested in the story. Part One does a good job of setting up the characters, as you also see the early tension between Keating and his successor, the new President Pamela Barnes, who had been previously been his Vice President.

    In Part Two the pace seemed to slow down a bit, even though this is where the former President’s daughter Mel is actually kidnapped. There are many chapters from her perspective, so her character's competent but frightened nature is well established. You get to see the situation from several different character's perspectives as the chapters switch back and forth, and the scope of the situation is fleshed out.

    The pace picks back up toward the end of the second part, and there is a ton of action and compelling scenes that made it hard to put the book down. I felt like the main characters were given just enough background and detail for the interactions to seem realistic, even with this plot that might initially seem somewhat unlikely. The authors really create an environment that sets up clear heroes and villains, and makes it easy to root for the protagonist.

    Overall I enjoyed this book. Even though it was pretty long at 600 pages, the shorter chapters and the constant switching of perspectives prevented it from ever getting too boring or tedious. It might not have been the most amazing or mind-blowing story I've ever read, but anything that can keep me interested for that long and come to a satisfying conclusion is a pretty good book in my opinion. 4.5/5

    I was looking for an author I used to love and mistook Patterson for Sidney Sheldon. I've now read a couple of Patterson's books and while they're okay, they are not Sidney Sheldon. Same genre, but less flair, depth, suprises. That said, this isn't a terrible book. It's just forgettable. Patterson writes to entertain, not to make a person ponder in the least. Great airport reading, but I'm guessing this author is so successful because he truly is a workhorse - he puts out so many books! One might argue we should be honoring authors who delve deeper, but I'm sure there are plenty of those also. Just my two cents. Give me Fredrick Backman any day...
