Summary: Very disappointing
Review: This is probably one of the worst books I have ever read. I normally like mystery novels and thrillers, but James Patterson's writing style completely turned me off to this book. The language was extremely dumbed down and the plot was very tedious, to the point of being unreadable. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

Summary: A very, VERY graphic and disturbing novel
Review: I bought this book expecting something similar to Silence of the Lambs or Citizen X, however, I was not engrossed at all, haha, I was more grossed out. I think the author tries way to hard to capture his audience, and doesn't spend quite enough time thinking about the characters. It is obvious momst of his time was spent NOT thinking about the story, but more about his writing style. Eh, a very low grade in my book. Usually I enjoy these types of novels, but this was not to my liking at all.

Summary: Powerful, yet Engrossing..
Review: Wow! After just finishing this book, I am breathless. This novel was ASTOUNDING. I had never read any of James Patterson's books, but I know that will change now. I loved the idea of twinning. Very well developed!
The story starts off when the Cross family finds that Alex's beloved neice has been abducted and "kidnapped", leaving the family in shambles. Alex Cross goes to investigate her kidnapping. As the story develops, Cross' only lead is Katelya MecTiernen, a beautiful medical intern that escaped from the "bad guys." I absolutely loved Kate's character. She is well written, and I love that fact that she could hold her own against intruders instead of the traditional idea of helpless women being taken without a fight.
The book progresses, taking the reader on a never-ending thrill ride, straight up to the very last page. It is scary, and I promise you that once you think the book is finished, you better think again! I definitely recommend this book to anyone.

Summary: Not for the squeamish
Review: I can't believe I read more than a quarter of this book before it became familiar. I had either read it before or more likely seen the film. I still finished the book even though I knew what was going to happen. That says a great deal for Patterson's style. He is totally absorbing I couldn't put it down. Cross is not the same as I remember so it was probably the film version I saw. I don't usually read a book when I have seen the film I find it spoils it. This book is total horror I was disappointed that the police couldn't identify the monsters. It was a tip from a reporter that led to the first one and they got it wrong twice before they caught the other. I'd have to give this book four screams.

Summary: the best book
Review: I am 13, and loved this book. I got it uesd, and once i started i could not stop. It's James Patterson at his best, and if you read "Kiss The Girls" and like, it then you will love "Cat & Mouse" by James Patterson.

Summary: My Introduction to Alex Cross
Review: This was the 1st James Patterson book that I read. I could not put it down (for very long). It got me hooked. I have read some of his other books that are not part of the Alex Cross series, but these are my favorites. I'm always looking for the next one...

Summary: The Book Is So Much Better Than The Movie!
Review: Fast paced, action packed, and hard to put down. The movie was nothing compared to the book!

Summary: decent
Review: This was a decent book as far as detective type thrillers are concerned. The reading was easy and interesting and I found myself curious as to who the killer was. Unfortunately, I knew who it was already, having seen the movie, but if you are able to forget that you will find it quite suspenseful. Cross creates characters with an emotional breadth and sensitivity that are surprising for novels of this type. I was assigned to read this book for my Reading Popular Fiction class at Syracuse University, we were supposed to notice how the female lead is a strong woman and how women's role in popular fiction has changed since trash like Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Personally I don't think Patterson gives a damn about women's role in fiction, he just wanted a smart sexy woman to pair up with his badass cop.

Summary: an absolute must read
Review: This is the best JAMES PATTERSON book to date. it is mysterious, compelling and terrifying. if you have read Gone But Not Forgotten, you will find it of that gendre. i absolutely could not put this book down, nor could my husband. to try and tell you what the story is about would not do justice to this book. i, without reservation, whole heartedly recommend this book to anyone who likes a good mystery.

Summary: "MAKES FOR SCARY NIGHTS"!!!
Review: Another good book by James Patterson about Alex Cross. This time there are two killers on the loose. On the West Coast and in North Carolina, however, they both end up in North Carolina. The Gentleman and Casanova are their names. This book is so scary, makes you want to look under your bed before going to bed at night. Who are these two men? You think you know but then you do not. This will hold you attention to the very end. I hated to put it down to do other things. If you like good mystery books you will like this one.
