This was my James Patterson, so I didn’t realize this book followed the story of Alex cross. Definitely a page turner and for those who haven’t read him like myself, the book can be read alone or following his other Cross books in the series. Overall great read

I really enjoy the Alex Cross series of books, and this one was just as good as the others in the series. And with his arch-nemesis out, there is obviously at least one more book in the series. I didn't believe that escape series from the federal prison, but you have to suspend disbelief in a book like this.

Heerlijk boek. Houd de spanning hoog, korte hoofdstukjes en leest daarom vlot.

I know at some point Patterson started using ghost writers pretty heavily and I'd like to know when that was. The last two books I've read come later in the Alex Cross series and they've been just terrible. A product of ghost writers or not? I'd really like to know. But I guess when you're at the point where people buy anything you put out simply because it has your name on it, quality starts to matter a little less than quantity. It must be a nice writer problem to have.

I liked this book. Brought in some of the past Alex Cross but you wont have to have read the past books to understand the history. I love James Patterson books because there is short chapters. SO really good book. You will like it if you are a James Patterson fan or better yet an Alex Cross fan (played by Morgan Freeman in Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider).
