Officially: 2.5 Stars.

Ugh...I hate that I didn't love this book. For all it's popularity, I simply don't understand how people drool all over this story. Alex Cross is a compelling protagonist, but I would like to have seen far more of his human element come through. That is an understandably difficult thing to accomplish and it's hard to offer a coarse opinion. I sympathize and I have no answers. The only benchmark I have is in other author's work. Other authors do it for me.
