This was the perfect kind of brain candy book for me to pick up after Dostoevsky. I needed something fast paced, quick to read and set in present time.
I’m not going to bother with much in the way of comments. If you’ve read this far in the Alex Cross series or much from Patterson at all, you’ll know what to expect. It’s formulaic, it’s fast, it’s got a likeable hero (even though I want to smack him sometimes) and it’s a quick read that you can blast through in a short time. It’s what I turn to when I need to re-set my head after a book that I’ve had to use more thought process to read. I don’t need much of that with Patterson, but he does entertain me.
No stars – I couldn’t even finish it
1 star – I didn’t like it but I managed to finish it.
2 stars – It was OK. Not good, but seriously just OK.
3 stars - I liked it. I didn’t think it was great, but I thought it was good entertainment.
4 stars – I really liked it. I really think you might like it too.
5 stars – It was amazing. I’d recommend this to just about anyone.

You've got my feelings about Alex Cross books down exactly. Not great lit but I love reading them. They certainly have their niche. I need to read the new one DOUBLE CROSS.
Kay: this kind of book definitely has it's place in my reading rotation. Glad someone understands :-)
