Summary: Cradle and All
Review: I read this book because I paid money for it. A complete piece of "fluff" not worthy of James Patterson

Summary: Alex Cross fans beware!
Review: I bought this book hoping to spend a few hours wrapped in a mystery. I got it alright! It was a mystery to me how James Patterson could get away with writing this! The entertainment of the novel involved only in finding out which girl was the true virgin. It is a very quick read. The number of pages in the book is deceiving as the print is so large I could read it without my glasses. If you are a fan of detective mystery's, dont waste your time or money on this book. If you like John Saul you might enjoy it.

Summary: Awful Story
Review: The writer has enticed me from his past work to purchase this. Big mistake buying this book. It's weird. It is not a mystery by any means.

Summary: Ooops, a miss!
Review: If your an avid James Patterson fan, as I am, avoid "Cradle And All". It is thouroughly the most disappointing book I have read in a long time. It doesn't come close to the great writing and ploting we expect from a James Patterson mystery. Maybe it's because it is reissue of an earlier, less succesful novel, "Virgin", from a time before he hit his stride and began keeping us on the edge of our seats, but it just doesn't work for me. Yet, everyone is entitled to a bad day, so we will just have to wait for the return of Alex Delaware. If you want to stay a fan, I strongly reccommend you pass on "The Cradle & All" Sorry!

Summary: "Virgin" Redux
Review: Although an enjoyable novel, Patterson's "new" work, Cradle and All can be experiences by finding an old copy of a 1980 work Virgin in your library. Any so-called reworking is not in evidence. The books are the same. Save yourself the waiting list at the library or the purchase price of a "new" book that isn't.

Summary: NEXT TIME, JAMES, WRITE UNDER ANOTHER NAME
Review: This book started off REALLY GOOD, but then it went south on me. By page 54, I was no longer reading the book, I was reading the back of my RECEIPT to see if I could return it... or at least exchange it for something more captivating. Like maybe, I don't know, something by Dr. Seuss?Summary: I've read James before and found him interesting. This wasn't James. This was someone else.

Summary: Really didn't like this book........
Review: I was very disappointed in this book. James Patterson writes books that are interesting to read but Cradle and All was just a take-off on an old black and white movie I saw. I knew what was going to happen throughout the whole book except the very end. Too bad to waste Patterson's talents.

Summary: Another Great From Patterson
Review: I have read all of Patterson's books, and like When the Wind Blows, this strays from his usual Alex Cross novels. I found I couldn't put this one down and I loved the ending...not something i expected! Based on the ending...I will be awaiting the sequel.

Summary: Full of Holes...
Review: The Alex Cross books are really worth reading, but this one is a piece of fluff no doubt created in a couple of weeks. The plot was ok to start with and it wasn't until the last few pages, literally, when you got the answers that you think back and realize he left holes big enough to shoot canons through. I'm surprised his advance readers let him get away with the glaring faults in the plot. This is a nickel-ninety eight book not worth the money, the time to read it, or the space it takes on the library shelf. Shame on you Patterson!
