Summary: EXCELLENT BOOK! IF YOU LIKE THRILLERS. TWO WORDS.CAT & MOUSE
Review: You should really read this book. It's a total reality check! This book really makes you think. What could the future for this world hold for all of us? Could "this" really happen? Trust me, this is one book you'll never, ever forget.

Summary: Couldn't Put it Down!!
Review: I thought this was on of Patterson's best! I got hooked on J.P. with Along Came a Spider, and with the return of Soneji in this one, made it all that more spectacular. Patterson is really the master of the fast-paced crime thrillers.

Summary: Patterson is much better than that !
Review: Those who've read Patterson's Along Came the Spider or Kiss the Girls would expect a good thriller and suspense. That's not what happens with Cat & Mouse. We go through several attempts of describing horrible acts on a supposed psychological persecution and some bad interpretations of the evil human mind... mixed to a flawless familiar life where Alex Cross's girl friend and children are beautiful, intelligent and perfect. Our hero Alex Cross is the best detective in the force and can do everything, including play a piano like Liberace!! It's too much ! For those who read other Patterson's books, this one is very disappointing.

Summary: Worth reading, but not his best work.
Review: I've read every Alex Cross mystery and they've all been a great thriller ride ... lots of suspense, interesting characters, good social commentary ... that leave you wanting more. "Along Came a Spider" is by far the best of the series and probably one of the best thrillers I've ever read. "Cat & Mouse" had some great parts, but I thought bringing back Gary Soneji was a short cut to crank out another book. The story surrounding him lacked a certain level of the "grab you by the throat" suspense I'm used to in a Patterson novel. The parallel story was interesting and definitely suspenseful, but its ending was disappointing and didn't really tie up any loose ends about how the killer was driven to such insanity. To Patterson's credit, though, the book's ending left me anxiously awaiting the next installment in the Cross series.

Summary: This one will really keep you reading!
Review: I think this is the best one yet! I have not read all of Patterson's, but this one was quite thrilling, and had you on the edge of your seat, on every page! The twist at the end of the book involving the bad guy was great. I await his next book eagerly!

Summary: THIS BOOK IS GREAT
Review: I WAS GIVEN THIS BOOK BY A FRIEND. I REALLY WASN'T INTO BOOKS BUT THIS WAS MY TURNING POINT. ALEX CROSS IS A GREAT CHARACTER, I'M LOOKING FORWARD FOR THE REMAINIG OF THIS SERIES. IN MY POINT OF VIEW JAMES PATTERSON IS A GREAT AUTHOR.

Summary: engrossing novel - hard to put it away
Review: I was given this book to read by a friend to while away the time whilst I was on holidays. Not having read any of his other books, I didn't kow what to expect. However, the novel held me in its grip from go to whoa. I enjoyed Alex Cross' character & the tireless way he was hell bent on finding the murderer only to be confronted with a frustrating end to the clues provided. Soneji proved to be a totally insane, sadistic character, but seemed really realistic. I felt I could relate to the terror he imposed on his victims due to the author's in-depth analysis of the books' characters. A highly enjoyable read,I found it hard to put away the book at night. I'm waiting eagerly for the next instalment in the Alex Cross series.........

Summary: A Chase with a Twist
Review: I really enjoyed Cat & Mouse. I read 'Kiss the Girls' quit a while back and really enjoyed it. The twist with Mr. Smith and the detective was greatly written. Although grotesque at times the clarity of the "Smith" murders was astounding. I have never had a nightmare about a book I had read before this one and the nightmare came days after I finished the book.:) I loved the MO of "Mr Smith's" murders. The suspense that Alex Cross was killed was a sneaky twist. Now I am reading Jack & Jill, so I am back on a Patterson ride!!

Summary: Grim, violent and boring
Review: This is the first book by Patterson that I have ever read, and I do not intend to buy another. This is also the first book in a long time that I made a conscious decision to quit reading after the first half. The story was grim, violent and boring. How did this get to be on the best seller list? It's brain garbage!
