Summary: Jack and Jill will send a chill down your spine!
Review: The storyline and format of this book is very reader friendly. The suspense is non stop and the hero, Alex Cross, is a believable and lovable character. The chapters are short and the development of the two storylines are not confusing. The good thing about all of the suspense and mystery is that these things could very possibly happen. Even as we speak! Who of us has never questioned the underground and covert operations of our own government. If the Kennedy assasination and it's cover-up fascinate you then this book is a must read. I can't wait to get my hands on the sequel so I can find out what happens between Alex, his new love interest, and his stalker. By the way, the love scenes are quite steamy but written with good taste...not too saucy! These add to the character development and enhance the understanding of their diverse personalities. This is an entertaining book and will make a great movie one day.

Summary: ALL NIGHTER
Review: I just would like to say: I started reading this 400+ page book at about 2am this morning, and finished it cover to cover at about 7:30am. I have NEVER read a book like that without stopping. This book is excellent. The fact that there are 2 mysteries to solve going on at the same time proves Patterson's talents as an author. The shorter chapters are a plus! I would much rather see this in books than chapters dragging on and on for pages and pages especially if the topic is dry. Please read this book. I full recommend it.

Summary: quick read
Review: I enjoyed this book as I have the other two books I read by Ptterson, "Kiss the Girls" and "Along came a Spider." His use of familar themes helps the reader invision Dr. Cross and his homicide investigations as if they were happening in a city similar to his/her own. I will read his next book, "Cat and Mouse," with a continued hope that I will once agoan be intrigued to the very last page.

Summary: Bad ending
Review: Many readers have commented that there was no way they could guess the ending. That's about right, since the ending makes no sense. I won't give it away, but suffice it to say that there ends up being absolutely no discernible purpose for most of the murders in the book - i.e., the murderer is not just a random psycho and yet has no motive for the murders.

Summary: jack and jill
Review: I thought James Patterson's use of cruption and crime set against a Government background was astounding and as always I truly enjoy reading his writing. I would have never guess the ending and when you can't guess the end that is a true mystery. Bravo to Mr. Patterson for encompassing his readers once again with his talent which makes the reader unable to put the book down.

Summary: Boy, what I wouldn't give to get my wasted time back.
Review: I bought this book at an airport, and by the time my flight was through, I was so angry that anyone would allow a book this bad to be published that I had to get on Amazon...If you're the type that enjoys 3 page dissertations on what someone ate for breakfast, really needs to be reminded, ad nauseum, say, every two pages, that our "hero", the "Dragonslayer", really, really, feels bad for murdered children, then this book is for you. In fact, fans of books that have infeasible plots, zero fact checking, mindless diatribe, and technical errors throughout, should love this silly little waste of paper. At times it was so bad that I found myself laughing. I'll never get that time back. It's not writing, it's typing. Even my recycled bin groaned.

Summary: Where did this Ego come from!
Review: I have read Mr.Patterson's previous books with great enjoyment...interesting characters, great plots, etc. However, I found it very difficult to even finish this book, as Alex Cross' ego seemed to want to gag me every few pages! The story line and other characters were actually very interesting, but Mr.Patterson seemed to find it necessary to hit us over the head with the fact that his main character was 'the Hero'. Continually refering to himself as the 'Dragonslayer' became very tedious. It was as though Mr.Patterson had no faith in the readers to discover the intelligence and perceptiveness of Alex Cross. Anyway, I was very disapointed, and unforunately am unable to bring myself to read his next book, in fear of his self absorbed 'hero'!
