Summary: Plot OK, Writing awful
Review: Though the plot of this book was interesting and worked well for its genre (suspense/thriller) the writing style was so juvenile and incompetent that I couldn't believe it had actually been released as is. Patterson seems to have only a basic notion of grammar and sentence structure, is addicted to cheating the reader out of drawing any of his/her own conclusions, uses cliche startlingly often, seems to adore passive voice and seems to now be a big enough name that his editor is afraid to correct him. Perhaps he should transfer his storytelling talent into screenplays, as his narrative voice is abysmal. Recommended only if you can overlook writing ability in favor of plot--I failed, which made this a frustrating read.

Summary: POP. POP,POP,POP,pop!!!!
Review: Well, Well, well Mr. James Patterson! What a wonderful read this mystery and thriller turned out to be. I must confess that I was expecting it as I have already read "Along Came A Spider".

Alex Cross is an exciting character to read about. Thank God for the availability of SOME BLACK HEROS. I know that they exist, but, do others know this. One way of proving it is through authors like James Patterson. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Alex Cross certainly was not going to let some measley British Intellegence Official out smart him and continue killing off Washington, D.C. citizens. Why the great seat of government would be embrassed should such an act take place. Alex Cross seems to be the precursor to the present day Montgomery County Chief Charles A. Moose. Moose, as most of us know, soared to the front of the international news scene when in 2002 he captured the infamous BELTWAY SNIPER MURDER CRIMINAL in the Washington, D.C./Maryland/Virginia areas. It wouldn't surprise me if Chief Moose took his directions from Alex Cross. (smiles)

Needless to say, I highly recommend this book and I also recommend all of the Alex Cross series. I sure will be reading each and every one. You will be able to read more about how I view the world through my reviews (smiles, I love you too, Beverly C. Sanders, I sell the books, "CURE FOR HIV" AND "CURE FOR CANCER".

Summary: yuck
Review: I thought this book was REALLY BAD, and I have no idea why I even read the entire thing. It was predictable and silly. There were no surprises, and the villian was boring. ugh.

Summary: keeps you guessing until the very end
Review: So this is only the second book by James Patterson I have read and I'm completely hooked on it! With this book I felt as though I were actually apart of it and solving the murders right by Alex and Sampson's side. So this is how it goes its Geoffrey Shafer this time and what makes it worse is that he works for the British Embassy. He's in on a game call the Four Horsemen, played by 3 others around the world. So basically he's going around killing just completely random people and throwing the "dice" to find out exactly how they will die, these are referred to as the "Jane Does". I must warn though, this book is way more graphic than any I have read so be aware of that. Shafer is not only a killer, but practically a druggie who gets all his drugs from Boo Cassidy. If you've read Patterson's books you'll remember Christine, well at the beginning Alex proposes and they are to be married, but someone kidnaps Christine while they are vacationing in Bermuda. So now it becomes personal with Alex and he becomes more eager to find this "Weasel" as they call him. So this book is extremely intense and has you guessing until the very end and then some. I would definitely recommend reading it.

Summary: one of the greatest villians in literature
Review: shafer will definatly be up there with lecter and sonjei. He has the brilliance and arrogance to be compelling. He reminds me of Ted Bundy. A real life serial killer. Scary isnt it ? but i also enjoyed all of the characters. I love Alex Cross and John Sampson.

Summary: Alex Cross at his best and worst.
Review: I listened to this unabridged story. Michael Kramer did an excellent job as storyteller.

This story was very well developed. Patterson does an excellent job of putting you in the head of both Alex Cross and the villian. You come to understand how they think.

The book is very fast paced. Patterson reflects pure raw emotion in both Cross and Shaefer.

Patterson has a knack for developing totally amoral persons. Using the internet as the back drop was also an interesting infusion.

This book is hard to walk away from.
