Review: I'm a big James Patterson fan, but I have to say that this book was so awful that I felt complelled to write. There was little or no character development. Many of the story elements have been used by other authors with better effect. I started to buy this book, but thankfully I went to the library instead. The only good thing to say about it was that it was a fast read.

Summary: No where near his other works
Review: I have loved all of Patterson's work up until this one. A total piece of garbage. If you like Patterson's other books, this book will be nothing like you have read before

Review: What a disappointment. Waited 8 weeks for book at the library, and it is terrible. Please Mr Patterson, bring back Alex Cross and stay with him.

Summary: God help us
Review: The only people who could possibly like this book (?) are those who enjoy rereading their WWJD bracelets. Will we never see the end of this bedevilment and be-angelment of literature? Thankfully, I got this one at the library and didn't spend good money on it. James Patterson should be ashamed.

Summary: Awful
Review: I echo many of the others who have posted reviews. Among other faults Patterson cannot "get" women. The character of the investigator Anne Fitzgerald is so wooden it was painful. The only characters that had any liveliness to them were the two virgins. Unfortunately, I spent money to buy my copy. Don't make the same mistake that I did!

Summary: I very big disappointment for a huge James Patterson fan . .
Review: I have several James Patterson books including the entire Alex Cross series, which was absolutely wonderful. This book tells that tails of disease, famon, and two virgin births. This book dives into the story of the Virgin mother of Jesus, Mary today in the 21 century. One child would be born the Son of God and the other the Son of Satan. Once again we have the epic story of good against evil with all of its flavor. It only took me two days read this book and I am sorry that I even did. It will keep you because you will want to know which baby is which, but other than that, this book is for the birds . . . . sorry James Patterson. Give me Alex Cross or give me death . . . . .

Summary: Terrible
Review: I actually give this book 0 stars. I can honestly say it is the worst book I have ever read. I bought the hard cover and it was a total waste of money. I can't believe the same author wrote Jack and Jill.

Summary: hair tingling
Review: i have read most of james patterson's book, and like his others i really enjoyed this. yes alex cross was nowhere to be seen, this book however kept my attention and raised a few hairs on my head in the process. i like its short chapters and thought it was a easy reading book. the topic deals with two virgin births and up until the end you never know who will deliver the savior or the devils child. not at all like his other books but for a change this one was a good one. i have already passed it on for someone else to read.

Summary: horrible writing
Review: This was a very big disappointment. I have enjoyed reading his past books and love Alex Cross. I knew this didn't have Cross in it but I was still thinking it would be good. I'm glad it was from the public library and I didn't spend money for it!!!! The subject matter repelled me. I kept reading thinking it would get better but it didn't.

Summary: Religious nightmare
Review: James Patterson should stick to familar topics such as police investigation. He should not attempt any further writings in the religious arena. The story was long, poorly put together and boring. If Mr. Patterson wants to do any futher speculation in regard to good vs evil, he should do so within the realm of the criminal justice system. Please leave the religious speculation as to the end of the world to the Book of Revelations.
