Summary: Brutal
Comment: Jack and Jill is everything a thriller should be. The story is gripping, the body count plentiful and best of all, there is no sugar coating in describing the death and sex scenes. I listened to this book with great concentration, losing myself in the story and with my heart beating faster with each new murder. I loved the story, the sub plots and how it all came together. A fast read to be sure but a great one. Mr. Patterson really knows how to write them. The audio production was excellent. Two readers were used one for the first person account of Alex Cross and the other for the third person passages. I also liked the added touch of suspense music and sound effects which really enhanced the audio book to make it sound like you were listening to a movie. I can't wait now to begin Cat and Mouse and I have already ordered Pop Goes the Weasel so I hope Amazon ships it soon. A great audio mystery to add to my ever growing audiobook collection.

Summary: Ugh
Comment: While reading this one I couldn't help thinking, was Kiss the Girls really that good? Patterson does have a terse writing style, but it didn't seem this bad before. It's bad here. All through reading it I was feeling like Patterson just hacked this one out of the word processer in one draft without a second glance. For a guy who writes so sparsely, he sure is repetative throughout the story....'Was Jack up ahead? Was Hawkins Jack? Was this Jack up ahead? Could this be Jack up ahead? Had we just been that close to catching Jack?'....This within 3 pages. Who is this guy's editor, anyway? Another thing that bothered me was so much pop culture was thrown in in an obviously contrived effort to authenticate things (Simpsons, ER, Pulp Fiction, MTV). Now you're wondering, if I hated it so much, why did I finish it? Well, I have to admit, the story itself was quite good, and I pretty much had to see it through to see how things turned out. Given the right director and screenplay, this would make a terrific movie. As for future Patterson efforts, I'll wait for the movies, thanks.
