Summary: God awful
Review: I love Patterson's books, but this was so terrible. I am writing this having only read 2/3 of the book. I'm not finishing it either. Stick to Alex Cross.

Summary: I Should have known better..........
Review: Well, I thought I would never say it, but.....this was the worst book that I have ever read! I didn't think that James Patterson was capable of writing such junk!He has tried to mix religion with the occult...didn't work! He researched the Catholic Church pretty well, but didn't give enough credit to the faith of those folks.....the very idea that there would be another virgin birth...hey, why did you go there? I thought after the children that were able to fly was written he would settle down .... didn't happen did it? Stick to Alex Cross, James........you're good there!

Summary: Interesting premise that only partially delivers
Review: I was excited about reading this book when I read the premise. I am a fan of Patterson and I find him an enjoyable and quick read. Don't look for too much character build-up or wordy prose and you won't be disappointed. This book starts off promisingly and seems to drag in the middle, but the ending is exciting and suspenseful and offers an interesting twist. All in all, not a bad two day read.

Summary: I normally love Patterson, but............
Review: This "might" have made an acceptable short story, but this story was really boring. Read the first twenty pages, the last twenty pages and it will still have seemed to long. Shallow characters, boring plot...Too much... I usually love books by James Patterson. This is the first one that I returned to a book store.

Summary: Disappointing "Rosemary's Baby" wannabe!
Review: James Patterson's books have always been a pleasure to read - until this one. I, unfortunately, assumed it would be like his other novels - even without Alex Delaware - and nothing could be further from the truth!

Summary: Cradle and All
Review: Who really wrote this book? I find it hard to believe this novel was written by James Patterson. The voice of the author is clearly not his. Maybe that of an overwrought seminarian, or, perhaps a much younger version of the author. The story would be interesting were its premise not so outdated. An intact virgin delivers a baby? It happens all the time with nary a blink from the Vatican or anyone else. I expect much better from James Patterson and feel cheated. C'mon, who wrote this book?

Summary: I'm sure that this is Patterson's idea of a joke...
Review: This book has little or no merit and could only have been foisted on the reading public by a successful author who has the leverage to get a literary dog published. Oh well, let the buyer beware, I suppose.

Summary: rip-off
Review: This one star is generous. Next time, I'll keep my debit card in my wallet. This book was so badly written and a complete waste of a wonderful concept. There were sloppy errors in detail and zero meaningful background information about the characters; the relationships were cliches; the descriptions were inadequate; the scenes were ho-hum predictable. It was written in eighth grade style with stultifying sentence structure, flat verbs, and way too many adverbs. And those sound bite chapters stretched a 250 page book to a bare 300. Rip off! When an author lets his publisher promote this kind of second rate effort, it is an insult to his readers. I won't buy James Patterson again without reading strong reviews first.
