Summary: Very Disappointing, Don't waste your time with this one
Review: I am a huge James Patterson fan and was eager to read his latest. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem as if James Patterson wrote this book at all. The characters are all flat, text is redundant (how many times do we need to read about the feeling of flying?) and the plot pretty predictable. Very unlike Patterson's other books, with Alex Cross a very real, multi-dimensional character. I guess I will stick to Patterson's Alex Cross books in the future.

Summary: LOVED IT< LOVED IT< LOVED IT
Review: It is not a literary materpiece but its great fun. I really enjoy Patterson's novels and I was afraid I wouldn't like this one. So glad I was wrong!

Summary: Bring back Alex!
Review: James, you are a superb writer. But, please, do not write anymore books without Alex Cross. WTWB was certainly a departure from the norm. Not a good idea. I was disappointed. I am sure most of your Alex fans were disappointed as well.If ain't broke, don't fix it. I am looking forward to your next book with Alex Cross!

Summary: Who is posing as James Patterson?
Review: Maybe he died, and this book was randomly generated by a computer. It is crap writing. No character development, preachy, cardboard, BORING! totally unbelievable (and I love fantasy). I have a theory that these writers take a year off now & again and a ghostwriter writes one for them. Kellerman's The Web, and Patricia Cornwall's Point of Origen??? are also examples of really entertaining writers who suddenly slip us a plate of rancid dogfood. Of course, by the time anyone figures out that it is crap, a million or so copies have been sold. Get Patterson's earlier books--way better.

Summary: If this is what commercial fiction is becoming, kill me now.
Review: This was one of the most idiotic, worst written novels I've ever read. I'm not against fantastic plots, providing the characters and language rise to the challenge of making the fantastic believable, which is certainly not the case here. The characters are cliches. The language wouldn't dazzle a nine-year-old. Even the sex scenes are uninspired. Patterson couldn't have spent more than two weeks writing this. Hopefully he was paid enough to retire and make room for someone with skill and respect for his audience.

Summary: A mediocre Patterson book.
Review: In my opinion, this book did not excite me as much as "Kiss the Girls" and "Jack and Jill". It did, however, thrill me more than "Along Came a Spider" and "Cat and Mouse". Overall, it was a very good book, though.

Summary: Disappointing in comparison to other Patterson Books
Review: I have read all of James Patterson's books and this one was a disappointment. I am not, however,a fan of sci-fi type books. This book lacked the suspense and action of Patterson's other books and I found myself continuing to read thinking "it has to get better". I would not buy a sequel to this book at all. Alex Cross on the other hand - I can hardly wait til he is back!!

Summary: It wasn't like the other James Patterson mysteries
Review: The entire concept of "cloning" bugs me! Also, why mix the species? A human bird? For what reason? James get back to what you know, the missing persons, cops, and killers.

Summary: Hey, it's worth a few hours of your day...
Review: It's an interesting read - the premise is intriguing, although not terribly original. Reading some of the customers' comments, I don't believe that it was a COMPLETE waste of time. I am trying to encourage a friend to read more, and this would be a good book to start with. The chapters go by fast, the characters are interesting, and the plot twists are good!

Summary: Enjoyed it!!!
Review: Did not think that I would like it since it did not have Alex Cross as the main character, I was pleasantly surprised. I loved the book. Makes you ask, how close is it to reality?
