Rating: Summary: Very good. Review: Most of Patterson's novel's are mystery and action..this has more of a creepy 'exocist' syle horror. It is about two virgins that become pregnat..one has the god of the devil..and the the other has the son of god. Don't miss this great novel! buy it today.
Rating: Summary: James Patterson's style Review: Most of Patterson's novels habe more to do with detective cases..few of them have religion, and supernatural 'stuff', CRADLE AND ALL dose, and regardless of the new style it is still among James Patterson's finest.This book is about two vigins, that become pregnat. One of them bears the son of the DEVIL, and the other the son of GOD, it is a long enjoyable ride to see who bears the son of GOD. I will not tell you who is the mother of the sun of GOD, because I don't want to spoil the suprise at the end. This book it filled with twists and exiting turns. If it was a roller coaster, this book would be one of the most popular attractions. Don't be a fool and miss this book.
Rating: Summary: Run Away! Run Away! Review: I don't even know where to begin on this one. I will just say this, Patterson is a much better writter of detective thrillers. This book is so bad that words can't even describe it. Stay away from this stinker.
Rating: Summary: don't bother Review: Save you money, don't but this one. Trust me.
Rating: Summary: A Real Nail-Biter! Review: My lanuage and composition teacher recommended this book to my class right before "spring break." My family decided to take a vacation during then. At the airport convenience store,I spotted the book, just like the one you see above and I bought it. When the plane took off, I immediatley started reading and was thrown into it. The two hours on the plane, the 6 days on vacation, and the two hours on the way back was enough to read this baby. This book really took me by suprise at every little thing. But I have to tell you that the first good 50 - 70 pages are a little confusing, but you must hang in there. It turns out that it is an excellent book. Now to a comparison to his other books. I've read Along Came a Spider, saw the movie, and Kiss the Girls, and saw the movie, and of course the book is better than the movies. Currently, I am working on 1st to Die, his newest thriller. But comparing them determines which types of books you enjoy reading. If you are into mysteries, chose those Alex Cross books, and if you want to be at the edge of your seat, choose his other books. I enjoyed and all my peers enjoyed it, I'm sure you will to, so go ahead and buy it and take a seat for a long ride!
Rating: Summary: Pretty good! Review: I thought this book was really good. I know many people thought this book was disappointing, but me & my friends read it & we thought it was great. This book is actually what made me start reading James Patterson.
Rating: Summary: PLEASE stay in your own pasture! Review: We love your Alex Cross and your mysteries. But when we snuggle down for a hair raising plot, and get slapped from left field with a totally far out ride, I feel that I've been cheated out of the cost of the book. John Grisham did the same thing in his last offering, and I was mad as hell.
Rating: Summary: Cradle and All Review: This is one really sick book.
Rating: Summary: Always like a Patterson Review: I found this to be a most interesting story. Alot of religion and the like. Well researched and put together in an understandable way. The two young mothers and their protecters manage to keep it adventourous as well as entertaining. Without giving to many details, I'll leave it at this: if you like books by the author, this is a must read.
Rating: Summary: Bad novel! Why? Why? Why? Review: Chapter One: Thriller writer Patterson sat down at the keyboard, the light from the monitor glinting off the steely highlights in his hair as his fingers danced lightly across the keys. He'd just finished a harrowing three-page chapter, a full page longer than many of the chapters in the book, and was now well into a second three-page chapter following in immediate succession. What was this force that was driving him so? What could it be? His brow furrowed in concentration as he typed "I'm sorry, Kathy! Oh, God, I'm so sorry for what I did! I'm so sorrrr-eeeee!" Concern filled Patterson's face as he wondered whether he'd used enough exclamation points, and enough "e"s. How many "e"s would a drunken teenager under the influence of Satan call out as he plunged to his firey death? That was it, he simply couldn't sustain the effort much longer. Time for this chapter to end, too. As a trickle of sweat rolled down his brow, he typed "Chapter 63". He needed the relief of a two-page chapter, but as he began, he typed almost feverishly. Using italics was a daring method to portray the mysterious voice--was it the Voice of Satan? And suddenly, he was struck with a flash of brilliance. Yes, THIS was why he'd become a writer--this glorious power, this majesty. He typed, in italics, "And that's not good for the babeee!" Chills ran up and down his spine as he realised that he'd just made a stylistic allusion to the ending of the other chapter, with the exclamation point and repeated "e"! It seemed perfect! Chapter Two: In Hong Kong, I put the book aside in despair. Although no one was watching me, and no birds were flocking menacingly, I had the strangest feeling that the writer James Patterson was actually two different people. How could the author of those divinely terrific books KISS THE GIRLS and ALONG CAME A SPIDER also be the writer of such infernal drivel as SEE HOW THEY RUN and CRADLE AND ALL? I could almost figure it out, but it kept eluding me. Why? Why? Why? Why, in a book with 350 pages of text, were chapters on an average only 3 pages long, thus leaving only about 240 pages of actual text, counting the opening and ending margins of each chapter? Oh, the horrible loss of trees in the production of a book of this kind! And why, why did Patterson write the book with such a peculiar point-of-view, alternating wildly between the first person for one of the characters in about a third of the chapters, and the third person for the remainder of the book? Why make so many repeated allusions to what will happen in the rest of the book that instead of being filled with a sense of foreboding, the reader is filled first with a sense of irritation, then despair, and finally indifference? What could the reason be? There must be a reason, and whatever the reason, it must be bad...really bad.
