Summary: Compelling, but not a masterpiece
Review: It is a great story, but the story fades a bit in the end. The evil character seems to keep going and going and going.... A little too much like a hollywood script. Overall, an entertaining book. Patterson is a good story-teller. I recommend it.
Rating: 
Summary: Two Stars...no better.
Review: Sigh...lately it seems international #1 bestsellers are getting worse and worse. Shallow plot and characters pretty much describe Along Came A Spider. Waste of good money.This could make a good movie though. Isn't it strange that books nowadays read like your usual Hollywood movies cript?

Summary: Yet another Patterson masterpiece!
Review: James Patterson truely seems to achieve a perfect blend of thriller, romance and suspence. Being an an avid Patterson reader this novel certainly lived up to my expectations. The pure evil of Gary Soneji sent shivers down my spine. I'm already waiting in anticipation for the next one!

Summary: My first Patterson is one of the best books Ive ever read
Review: This is my first book by Patterson and I can't stop turning pages. Patterson raises hairs on your neck when he places you inside Gary Sonjei's mind. Sonjei is the nost enigmatic character in fiction since Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs. Read this book!!
Rating:
Summary: Cannot put it down
Review: The story was superb and the suspence was great, Alex Cross is truely a great detective, and Soneji is truely a great madman.
Rating: 
Summary: A bit disappointing for Patterson fans.
Review: Although I found myself unable to put this book down, I was a bit disappointed with the overall story. I enjoyed the suspense, however, I found the details of the story unrealistic, predictable, and overdramatic. Patterson does deliver a thought-provoking and page-turning novel.
Rating:
Summary: Excellent, fast-paced thrill to the bones serial murder!
Review: I really enjoy all the Patterson books. This is one of my favorites, simply because Soneji is pure evil. Patterson's books are particularly appealing if you like fast-paced, short chapters. Since I enjoy plot twists & turns more than 350 pages of character development, I truly enjoy James Patterson's books. Along Came A Spider is particularly enjoyable once you've read the follow-up books and have been scared into locking all the doors & windows in the middle of the night after the evil Soneji reappears!

Review: I AM USUALLY A KOONTZ, SAUL, KING FAN, THIS WAS THE FIRST BOOK I READ OF JAMES PATTERSONS, AND NOW I JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH!!!! HE IS TRULY A GREAT WRITER
Rating:
Summary: I REALLY ENJOYED THIS NOVEL.
Review: AT FIRST THE TITLE CAUGHT MY ATTENTION AND THEN I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET A HOLD OF IT UNTIL I WENT TO A SECOND HAND BOOKSTORE. I BOUGHT THE NOVEL A FEW YEARS LATER.IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT. THE NOVEL IS INTERESTING AND EXCITING AND THE PLOT IS WELL DEVELOPED AND IT NEVER GOT CONFUSING.I ACTUALLY FELT I WAS IN THE NOVEL AND BEGAN TO CARE FOR THE CHARACTERS.
Rating:
Summary: Interesting reading but far too basic...
Review: Certainly an easy read, I finished the book in less than week. However it seems like it written on a 7th grade reading level. Cookie cutter characters and 5 page or less chapters make this an ok novel for a novice reader. For those looking for character depth, I suggest you look elsewhere. I still give it three stars because the overall plot was fairly interesting.
