Summary: Fast and fun read
Review: Very quick and easy reading- hard to put down! The story did end very abruptly but there will definitely be a sequel. I thought the plot was similiar to other stories- but that is why I love Alex Cross. I liked him being frustrated in his new position in the FBI. I wish there would have been some additional details with his personal life instead of completely business. The return of little Alex's mother helped make the book more personable.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: A disappointed Patterson fan
Review: I am a huge fan of James Patterson, and after reading this book I vowed never to buy another of his novels! The story is all too familiar, too similar to his other plots; it is simplistic and the twists are foreseeable The ending had me enraged. Please do not waste your money or time on this book!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: TERRIBLE!!!
Review: Don't waste your time and money. I was very disappointed with this book. I actually threw it to the floor in disgust when I was through reading it. The writing is simplistic and there is no character development. The sentence structure and vocabulary are right out of an Elementary School level text. The only reason I even finished reading it was to have some closure and so I didn't feel like I had wasted my time by reading the beginning. Well, I certainly didn't get the closure I coveted. I wanted to mail the book back to the publisher in protest but I don't want to waste anymore of my money. If you enjoy richly developed characters and a plausible storyline you will not be happy with this purchase.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Terrific
Review: This book was a heart pounder. I couldn't put it down until I got to the end.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent book.
Review: I highly recommend this book. It was one of my favorites of the Cross series. It has a very interesting twist in it!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Wish I could give it no stars!!
Review: Good thing James Patterson wasn't at my house when I finished this book. I have never been so angry after completing a novel. Be careful when people say this book is "fast-paced" or "an easy read". It absolutely is. Only because the writing is at a grade schools level at best. There is no character development or scene development. It is as if you are reading a first person account from a robot. The only reason I kept reading it was I hoped it would improve. DON'T BUY THIS BOOK!!! I wanted to mail it back to the publisher. If you enjoy descriptive literature you will be sorely disappointed. And you will feel like a sucker for purchasing it. Just like I did.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Alex Cross and the FBI are a perfect match!!!
Review: I have been disappointed with the last few Alex Cross books, and I suggested that James Patterson should retire Alex Cross as he was becoming a superman. Well, in this book there is still some superman to Alex Cross, but seeing Alex in training at the FBI and in a small office and being talked down to was a refreshing change of pace.

The character of Wolf was the best villain that Cross has faced off against yet. There are many twists and turns in this one, and that will keep the pages turning. I also enjoyed that Patterson threw in a "family crisis" that really did not revolve around some type of attack at his home. All in all this book was very fun to read.

As always with Patterson, if you are looking for great literature, look elsewhere. Patterson's writing style if fast and sort of choppy. This is another of the famous 150 page books jammed into 400 pages. Some people may not enjoy a 2 or 3 page chapter, but I think it makes you want to read that one more chapter before turning off the lights.

Overall, much better than the last few Alex Cross novels, and a fun, light, quick read!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disappointing
Review: I thoroughly enjoy the Alex Cross books as a rule. This is the second time that Patterson has elected to stretch a story into 2 books. It is very disappointing to have a book be so intense and just come to a dead halt at the end. I think that it would be good customer relations if he would at least identify that his book is the first of two. Overall, Patterson has been one of my favorite writers, but with books like this I am starting to think otherwise.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Interesting
Review: Another great book. I didn't want to put it down you want to find out whats next. Good twists and turns. Didn't like the ending though I hate being left hanging. I hope the sequel comes soon. I will definitely read it. Great book.
