Summary: Over the top bordering on stupidity but entertaining
Comment: Detective Alex Cross is asked by his friend, John Sampson, to help look into the case of Sergeant Ellis Cooper, of the US Army who is scheduled to be executed. Cooper was convicted of violently killing three women on the army base. Cooper swears he is innocent and wants them to prove it. As Cross and Sampson look into the case, they discover a possible conspiracy in the US army that might be responsible for the killings. Of course, their lives are in imminent danger as they delve more deeply into the case.
James Patterson has a unique way of writing that is undoubtedly responsible for his huge popularity and success. Characters are fully developed and well known to the readers of his Alex Cross series. They do not, however, drive the plot progression. That is driven by the evil villains trying to destroy someone important in Cross's life such as his family or girlfriend. The plots are always over the top and can border on sheer stupidity. However, they are always entertaining. The books are written in extremely short chapters which read like staccato fire from a machine gun. Pages virtually fly by. In fact, the books can be read in one sitting of moderate length-- perfect for a long plane ride. This one is no exception.

Summary: Entertaining
Comment: Not Gripping
Not from the pen of a Brilliant mind
Not Perfect
But an intresting read - and one that doesn't give it's endings away 1/2 the way through - You cannot see what's going to happen
Unpredictable - Thats a good thing for a book to be
Unfortunatly a bit slow to start off with, his love intrest just annoyed me, and I think was used to fill up pages
but A good book - non the less
Rating: 3
Summary: Cotton Candy - Good Without Substance
Comment: The story moves rapidly. It is laced with violence and death, spiced with thought provoking sermons about capturing family moments and sprinkled with not so subtle jabs at the business of war and some thereby employed.
If you need Spock-like logical characters, this tale is not for you. Patterson's Detective Cross will annoy you when he repeatedly puts himself in harm's way - sometimes alone. Likely equally annoying will be the fact the Patterson does not slow the plot by taking time to explain how Detective Cross and his partner John Sampson are able to spend weeks solving crime(s) with no apparent connection to the District of Columbia - their employer.
Read for entertainment, not to escape the ugliness that life brings to some.
