Cat & Mouse

Rating:
Summary: It made me forget about my obligations and continue reading.
Review: I have only just begun this book, but already I have realized, as with any other James Patterson book, I could not put it down, even if I tried.

Rating:
Summary: What a big disappointment.
Review: I kept reading this book hoping that it would get better, but sadly it didn't. It seems that he wanted to finish the book about half way through, then he just kept going on with a completely unmoving second plot to the story. I couldn't wait for the book to end.

Rating:
Summary: Don't waste you time with this one!
Review: One of the worst books I ever read (recycled it just before finishing the last page)! A book's quality can be determined by comparing it with other similar books. If you thought this book was good, please read the much superior "Headhunter" or "Ripper" by Michael Slade to see the difference.

Summary: I had no idea his Alex Cross books could get any better!!
Review: James patterson has done it agian but even better. My heart never stopped pounding since the very first page. The book was the best book I have ever read. I cannot wait for his next Alex Cross book.

Rating:
Summary: With Alex Cross as the main character how can you go wrong
Review: James Patterson continues to keep me at the end of my chair with every book. Once you begin the book it is almost impossible to do anything but finish it. I also really enjoyed this book because of the scenes in New York which I could imagine so vividly.

Rating:
Summary: A good book
Review: This is the first Alex Cross book I have read.Now I wish I had gone back to his other books first. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because the story was too gory and bloody. Never the less it was a good read.

Rating:
Summary: Although a bit anti-climactic, still a fun read!
Review: What distinguishes this book from Patterson's others is its anti-climactic ending. Patterson does a nice of job of instilling suspense in the reader and even throws in a few surprises, but when Cross solves the cases (doesn't he always?), the reader is left thinking, "That's it?" This book was still a fun read, though, and a page-turner. Good beach reading.

Rating:
Summary: Amateurish at best
Review: Someone told me that if I liked suspense novels, I'd better get a hold of an Alex Cross book. Maybe I picked the wrong one to get started with, but "Cat & Mouse" started off weak and got worse. I've read better character development while flipping thru "National Enquirer" at the supermarket checkout. The word "cartoonish" comes to mind. As for plot, this book has nothing that couldn't be found in reruns of "The A-Team." And Mr. T is about as believable as the people in this book. I will give points for some relatively chilling moments involving Soneji, and some reverential descriptions of my hometown's architecture, but overall, I expected much much more.

Rating:
Summary: Everyone seems to love it or hate it. I loved it
Review: I found the twists and turns left me more than a little anxious and I went through this book with incredible ease and speed. I may not love his Alex Cross character and I really hate having Sampson call him "sugar" but I am impressed with his plots and I would recommend this book to anyone.

Summary: Thumbs Up
Review: A gripping page-turner, and the best suspense novel since Craig Furnas' THE SHAPE. Kept me up past my bed time.
