Summary: 3.5 stars....Patterson not at his best!!
Review: Honestly, I felt that this book was rushed. All I wanted to know was Who, What, When, Where and Why the Mastermind is all about and his true agendas!! In Roses are Red, James Patterson told you who the Mastermind was at the end of the book even though he decieved you a couple of times during the read. I felt he didn't have enough material about the Mastermind, so he included a story of vampire killings, maybe trying to throw you off the Mastermind. In this book there were a little twist but not enough to make your jaw drop like in his previous books. If your a Patterson fan I would buy the book if not just read this at the library...it much cheaper!!

Summary: My first Patterson

Summary: Alex Cross in invincible.
Review: I am a big James Patterson fan and have read most of his books. This would not be my favorite novel, but I will admit that I read it in a day, so it definitely had my attention. The well-known detective, Alex Cross, is back and this time he is chasing vampires. He travels to San Francisco, New Orleans, and Santa Cruz, "the Vampire capital." As bizarre as it sounds, the story was spell-binding. I am not one for horror stories, but, this was also a thriller. I will say that Dectective Cross seemed a little slow on the draw as I knew and so did some of the characters, who the Mastermind was before he did. For someone with strong intuitions he let some people get killed simply by his lack of insight, which is totally out of character for Dr. Cross. If you are a James Patterson fan, don't miss reading this book. If you aren't, try some of his earlier books first.

Summary: Great Book
Review: Violets are Blue by James Patterson is a captivating suspense novel. Once I started this book I could not put it down.
This book is the sequel to Roses are Red. The main character Alex Cross is a Washington D.C. police detective. He has two murder cases to solve. The first set of killers leave their victims' bodies drained of blood and strange teeth marks on them. To solve this mystery detective Cross explores the secret world of modern vampire fetishes and role playing. The second case is much more personal. The Mastermind is still tormenting Alex Cross. His ex-girlfriend has been murdered and the lives of his family threatened. He must find the identity of the Mastermind before he kills again.
I loved this book. Anyone who is a fan of James Patterson will enjoy reading this. It was smooth, fast paced and well written. I recommend this to anyone who loves a good mystery.

Summary: Quality Patterson...I could hardly put this one down.
Review: If you have read "Roses are Red" this is a must read. And if you like Patterson enough to read two of his books, then I suggest reading Roses are Red first and then this one. Both of them are extremely good and the great feeling of satisfaction you get after finishing "Violets are Blue" is amazing. I hardly could put this book down from the second I picked it up...I am a fulltime student taking 18 credits, yet somehow I managed to finish this book in about a day and a half. Great suspense, great plot twists, and a great culmination of events that begin in "Roses are Red."
Rating: 
Summary: silly and exploitive
Review: My title says it all. The Louisiana "scene" is, as is usual in novels, quite wrong. Detective Cross is a favorite of mine so let's hope he will have a better forum for his talents in the future.

Summary: Heart Burn
Review: Among the three reviews I had read, James Patterson is considered a talented writer. Using a style not often seen within long novels. Patterson uses small chapters barely seven pages long at the most. Designed to keep the reader reading without being bogged down by a never-ending chapter. These shorter chapters also afford Patterson the freedom to change time lapses and scenes often, without confusing the audience.Unfortunately in my opinion that was about the only clever decision Patterson made in writing this novel. ... I found that the book could in fact be consumed very quickly. Actually the book had only taken a day to "consumer". And like most fast food it left me with heartburn. While reading, the audience discovers more about the "vampire brothers" then they do about Cross's character. Even though the majority of the story follows Cross around as he discovers more murder scenes, goes on a bad date and tries to make amends with his children for being a workaholic.
