Summary: Writing at its worst!
Review: This book is so bad, you would think it was wrtitten for someone who was working their way up to cheap romance novels. Story is silly and full of holes, no character development, and the writing - heres an example: "He knelt before me and softly bowed his head. "I love you with my heart and soul. I know that I'll love you for eternity. I have to leave the priesthood. Then, please marry me? he asked. I knelt and faced Justin. I wanted to be as close to him as I possibly could be. . . There are GREAT novels out there, please find them, and give your mind a treat, do not allow this piece of junk to even waste a second of your time.

Summary: Bloody Awful
Review: Having enjoyed James Patterson's novels in the past, I was in for an unpleasant surprise upon reading "Cradle and All". Thank God that I checked it out from the Public Library; if I had actually purchased this book, at any price, I would even more p.o.'d than I already am. This thing reads like it was written by an untalented middle-schooler. It is really, really difficult to understand how this thing got published. Please, people, if you must read this book, check it out from your local Public Library, and do not waste any money on it. Even at a four-hour read, it is an inexcusable waste of time. Terrible plot, no character development, many factual errors, obvious ending... Well, I could go on and on. What a disappointment.

Summary: Don't waste your time or money
Review: This was possibly the worst book I've ever read. With all the wonderful books out there, do not waste one moment of your life on this one.

Summary: In keeping with tradition...
Review: James Patterson has proved himself once again to be a captivating and brilliant author. Having read all of his previous works, and the subsequent reviews on this book posted here, I was doubtful as to the level of entertainment this book would provide. But contrary to the reviews, I found this book to be fascinating and a thoroughly enjoyable read. I couldn't put it down. However unlikely the plot, the ending will have you wondering. Read this book, I guarantee a thrilling tale that will be impossible to put down.

Summary: THIS BOOK IS A JOKE!
Review: THIS BOOK IS A JOKE -- A JOKE ON US. THE WRITING IS AWFUL, THE PLOT IS DUMB AND CONFUSED, AND THE CHARACTERS CAME OUT OF A COMIC BOOK. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS AUTHOR IS A BEST-SELLER. THE COUNTRY MUST REALLY BE DUMBING DOWN. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY, THIS IS A REHASH OF AN EARLIER PATTERSON BOOK CALLED VIRGIN, AND THERE'S NO NOTICE OF THIS IN THE BOOK ITSELF (ONLY A SMALL NOTICE ON THE DUST JACKET) -- ISN'T THIS AGAINST THE LAW? MAYBE THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THIS CONSUMER RIP-OFF. PUBLISHER, AUTHOR, AND EDITOR SHOULD BE ASHAMED.END

Summary: You won't be reading long...
Review: It won't take you much time to work your way through James Patterson's newest (older) offering. While the fact that the story is framed within one of the greatest mysteries of life offers the reader the potential for a great read, the book simply does not deliver and leaves you shaking your head in disappointment when the last page has been turned. A VERY quick read, so the disappointment is mitagated to a great degree by the knowledge that so little time has been invested by both reader and author.

Summary: Riveting
Review: This book should be read by all existing James Patterson fans, and even Patterson virgins. I received it on a Friday afternoon and was finished by Saturday morning. I then passed it on to my boyfriend who returned it to me, finished, on Sunday. So far this wonderful book has done the rounds of 6 of my friends. While cynics will inevitably draw comparisons with the 1999 film "End of Days", Cradle and All tackles the favorite subject of the millenium with considerably more aplomb. And while the "twisty" ending may be predictable to some, I would still implore any fans of fiction writing to read this book. Superb.

Summary: Cradle and All
Review: Cradle and All took on the theme of the year 2000. Good vs Evil, the second coming and the end of the world as we know it. This is the story of two young girls of different cultures, who both claim to be pregnant but virgins. It's up to the world and the church to find out which one is carrying to true child of Christ. Because they know that one is surely carrying to child of Satan. Patterson takes you through many twists and turns and in the end you are still surprised.

Summary: A pretty good read
Review: Although it was not very believable, there were aspects of the book that were very good. The fast-paced, suspenseful nature of the book deems it a quick read. It surely kept my interest and is enticing me to read another Patterson novel. This was my first. The twisted ending was fantastic and not expected at all. Not the greatest book in the world, but great enough to recommend to other readers.
