"Pride is perhaps one of the most inspiring stories to help readers realize what it takes to achieve the American notion of success as there is some critical life advice that will help you improve your emotional and mental intelligence. --SeriousReading.com
The search for true love and the attainment of the American Dream two things on the minds of young men everywhere. But what if this idealized notion of success is really just a thinly veiled nightmare?
Meet John, the protagonist of our story, as seen through the eyes of the narrator…who just so happens to be John’s ego. Witness him overcome childhood poverty and other barriers to graduate from a top institution, all the while feeding his ego. Watch him fall in love, succumb to heartbreak, and learn to become the ultimate womanizer. See John fall and then get up again.
If modern American notions about success, achievement, love, and identity ring hollow—but you lack the temperament for self-help books—dare to be challenged by this scorching new novel.
Pride Masked Ambition Book 1 edition by Cole Patterson Literature Fiction eBooks
While I understand this book was primarily written from the author's first-hand life experiences, I am really disappointed by the lack of actual creativity in this "fictional" story. For example, the author uses the actual (or very similar) names of friends, colleagues, and some of the influential leaders from the span of 6-8 years of his early life. It is hard to follow. Albeit entertaining at a few points in the book, I found myself skimming through pages rather quickly as it lacked real substance. This story generally focuses on how John skirts the system at a united states federal service academy, as well as highlights how shallow he really is as he sweet talks nearly every female he encounters into bedding with him. If you are looking for a read to provide any motivation or enlightenment, this book is not for you. I give 2 stars for effort, but I struggle to find a true direction to the story nor did it prompt me to be on the lookout for the next book in the trilogy.Product details

Pride Masked Ambition Book 1 edition by Cole Patterson Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Must say amazing book! By far 1 of the best story I have read in a long time. Excited for the 2nd book. THIS IS A MUST READ.
Love the book! Great read!
I really enjoyed reading Pride. The book was full of great humor and the different stories of each character was entertaining. You won't find yourself bored when reading this book. I can't wait for book 2. Well done Cole Patterson.
This is a def must read!!!! It has a little bit of everything in it! You will find yourself unable to put it down!! I am absolutely loving this book and can't wait for the next series!!! If you don't have this book yet, stop what your doing and order it right now! You will not be disappointed!!
Cole Patterson's efforts at his first novel Pride are remarkable. I haven't written a book review since I was in college, when it was required of me for classes. Since then, I have read many excellent books. But, I'm reviewing this book because it's fun for me to support a young writer who is a rising star. I especially enjoyed the author's descriptive language and images of his characters. One day, when this author is #1 on the New York Times best seller list I can say that I called it.
The author's motivation to write this book is very personal. It is because his older brother lives life behind bars in prison, and while reading Pride one gets the feeling that the story explores reasons why some folks take the low road while others struggle, overcome barriers and follow dreams. Cole Patterson's story is narrated by Johnathon, (yep, that's how he spells it) a young boy growing up with a dysfunctional family in a small Georgia town. Dear readers, this boy's life begins in circumstances where most young folks consider themselves to be victims and see a dismal future where there is no way out of the poverty and oppression. Johnathon and his older brother, Joe are mavericks who manage to break every rule imaginable. Their capers made me laugh out loud at the same time I was touched by their sad upbringing.
Through his intelligence, athletic prowess and sheer determination Johnathon manages to earn an appointment to the Naval Academy. At this point his life is set on a path which reverses his family's pattern. The story picks up with his indoctrination into the academy where he makes great friends while he makes enemies. He has no shame, he's a schemer, a rebel and a womanizer to name just a few of his attributes. This novel takes us from a country town in the South to Annapolis to New York city on 9-11. All the while Johnathon is maturing in small increments and moving toward realizing his dreams. I'm a sucker for happy endings and Pride has an ending which caused me to cry happy tears.
Pride is book 1 of the Masked Ambition Trilogy. This reader is looking forward to following Johnathon on his adventures in the forthcoming books, I'm sure the roller coaster ride will make for entertaining reading.
Hilarious and you can't put it down once you start reading it!
Great book!! This book was impossible to stop reading! Pride has it all, the author was able to mix in so many great stories with life lessons. I loved how the author, Cole Patterson, was able to make the reader connect with the main character! A must read! I'm excited about the other two books in this series.
