kaindis 's review for:
Cross Justice
by James Patterson
I haven´t read any of the Alex Cross books (I had to read this one for a challenge) but if the others are even half as bad as this one I´m just glad that I will never have to read one again.
This book was just a disjointed mess. There is practically no tension, all these stupid "coincidences" that advance the plot are maddening and the end is just... no. It turned out that Alex´s father is still alive and OF COURSE his cousin was not guilty of a crime. Because god forbid anyone in his family is anything else than a perfect human being. Sometimes I couldn´t even keep the relatives straight - turns out I needn´t have bothered since they were all bland and boring and practically had the same personality.
Also - really? Dramatic entrance with a gun and a hostage and everyone walks away alive? Are you serious?!
Why this book needed Coco (a Buffallo Bill-type of serial killer. A transwoman. Or a crossdressing man. Coco was always called "he, him" but in the first chapter it very much felt like they were a woman. So I have no idea which of those two options they were supposed to be but it sucked in any case) is beyond me. Their story was underdeveloped and ended so abruptly I wanted to scream. It´s such a stupid and overused trope I never want to read about it again.
And here I thought the worst thing my eyeballs would have to endure this week would be that Fanfiction about Donald Trump and his wig that I stumbled upon...
