Ah, the era when Patterson wrote all of his own books. This book is *so* many steps above the dreck he publishes now, yet still not the greatest. I think my problem with lies in the complexity of the evil plot. I didn’t really buy it in this context, perhaps because the book takes itself seriously. You could have this type of plot in an Ian Fleming or Clive Cussler novel, because it is delivered with a wink and a nod. Here, it’s meant as a "this could really happen" scenario. There’s just too many pieces and plots for everything to be controlled by one man (or woman). That being said, I was still entertained, and it was nice to visit with Alex Cross again. I may avoid most of Patterson’s newer books, but I expect I won’t be able to avoid finishing this series.
I haven't read many Patterson books, but this one sucked me and I couldn't put it down.
It was really unrealistic in my opinion, and so unlikely. And if that ever did happen, I hope our FBI/CIA/etc would do more than what it seemed like here - but seriously, this book hit the spot for me.
Cross is dealing with not one, but two of his nemisises. I haven't read books with either of them before so I wasn't clear on the whole history but the book did a pretty good job of filling all of us in. (However, I did wonder had I read them all, would it start to feel redundant at some point? Not sure).
Anyway, I really enjoy ed it. Like I said, it hit just the spot and was the perfect read for me when I picked it up!
