Target: Alex Cross by James Patterson
3.0

I am a huge fan of the Alex Cross series, but this entry was a slog for me. It took me forever to finish, albeit I was reading before bed and could have just been sleepy. BUT if the story was intriguing, I probably would have powered through no matter how tired I was. There was way too much build up before some action actually happened. Once the book hit its climax, though, I was way more interested in figuring out the who and the why. The motive was a crazy one and would be scary if something like that could actually happen.

The story line for this book was tied up, but Patterson finished with a cliffhanger, which of course, I now need to read the next book to see where it goes. It seems like this new mystery will focus on a solitary psycho killer that Alex Cross is famous for going after. This book was more a political thriller and I'm happy that it sounds like Patterson will be going back to Cross's "roots."
