Summary: One of Patterson's Best!
Review: I really enjoyed reading this fast-paced story. While a little unbelievable, it was very entertaining. I applaud Patterson's choice of the not-so-predictable ending.

Summary: Lighter side of Patterson
Review: Typical Alex Cross serial killer. But being from D.C. -- he describes S.E. all wrong. I still love Mr. Patterson though and can't wait for next Alex Cross book.

Summary: Good but not Great
Review: Past Patterson books have opened up to let the reader fall in and make the great escape to Alex Cross' world. Pop Goes the Weasel has the potential to do the same but patchy editing keeps getting in the way. For example: When Christine agrees to marry Alex he joyfully shares the news with his family. They are surprised and pleased and there are hugs all around (page 102). Forty-one pages later Alex again tells his family he and Christine are getting married; they are again surprised and pleased and offer hugs. Alex's computer tells him, "You have mail." This sloppy approach coupled with an "I'm tired of writing" ending keeps the reader from getting caught up in the thrill of the chase.

Summary: The Weasel Pops too little too late
Review: I am an avid fan of the Alex Cross series and could not wait to dive into the latest one "Pop Goes the Weasel". I sped through the book as I do all Patterson books, but this one left me feeling a little cheated. The story started out really good, then spiraled down, seemed like Patterson was making it up as he went along. The ending seemed rushed and anti-climatic. I hope the next one lives up to the Alex Cross series better then this one did.

Summary: Not One Of Patterson's Best
Review: Being an Alex Cross fan, I was looking forward to this new installment with a new evil menace. The weasel did not disappoint, but the rest of the book did. Too long and drawn out. I usually read a book at a medium pace so I can savor all the details. I found myself reverting to speed reading just to get to the resolution which was itself, painfully drawn out. I will continue to read Patterson though. He is not the most consistent of writers, but he hits a bulls eye fairly frequently.

Summary: pop goes the Weasel
Review: I thought this book was a good read. Alex Cross is a great detective. Although I had some trouble following the time in this story. The courtroom chapters were not enough for me. Trials are always a great part of a book. I look forward to the next book.

Summary: Alex Cross Is BACK!
Review: This is a fast pace wild ride through the streets of south east DC. I stayed up late at night waiting to see what happens next in the search of the weasel! This is a must read!

Summary: A bit sloppy this time
Review: Pop goes the weasel is a good, fast paced read, however it suffered from some sloppy writing and editing compared to Pattersons other books. I think the book was maybe rushed somewhat, as there are some holes in the story, and some parts are not really explained particularaly well. For instance, sometimes you flip the page and find that months have passed in the story without even realizing it. And the entire section with the court scenes was really oversimplified. The ending seemed very contrived as well, as if Patterson decided he didn't want to write any further. I liked the bad guy, he was actually comical at times (like when he fed his family a super spicy meal just because he knew they would hate it). Criticisms aside, overall Pop goes the weasel is a pretty good read and I would recommend it, especially to fans of the series. It is better than his last book, but still not up to par with the first three books in the series, which were all outstanding; Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider remain two of my all time favorites - and I read a lot of books.

Summary: Patterson Strikes "Gold" Again!
Review: A novel that is followed by the thrilling "Cat and Mouse", Patterson again shows why he is one of today's best thriller writers. A non-stop, page turner that is sure to caue some lost sleeping hours due to the anticipation of the next chapter.

Summary: JAMES STRIKES AGAIN
Review: POP GOES THE WEASEL WAS A GREAT READ! I AM AN ALEX CROSS FAN AND WISHED FOR A COMMITTMENT BETWEEN HE AND HIS LOVE. HOWEVER, I NEED TO ASK MR PATTERSON...EXACTLY WHAT DID SHE MEAN WHEN SHE TOLD ALEX THAT THEIR CHILD SAVED HER LIFE? I THINK I MISSED SOMETHING HERE...BUT OVERALL THE BOOK IS ANOTHER FAST AND GOOD READ.
