I really enjoyed this book it’s details are very nice and tend to transport you to another world. It’s a very fast read and a very good thriller that doesn’t disappoint. Although the author isn’t known for the best writing style he makes up for it in storyline.

I wasn't a huge fan of Along Came a Spider, but I decided to give Kiss the Girls a shot anyways. I am so glad I did! This book drew me in from the start and after what felt like a long streak of dull books, I finally had a book that I did not want to put down. It was very suspenseful and jam packed with action which was perfect. I definitely did not see the ending coming which was fantastic. I love it when I'm caught off guard!

I read so long ago that it really did fascinate me. Now I'm old enough to cringe at the tastes of younger me but I can see why I loved it so much then.

Ok so James Patterson might write a new book every fifteen seconds but this was one of his best. From the beginning it had me hooked. I have read quite a bit of Patterson novels and at times his short chapters use to bother me but I didn't mind much with this book.Call me a sicko but I love stories with serial killers, and Patterson wrote a ted bundy/charles manson type of story. This was my first Alex Cross novel and I really loved his character. Its unusual for a white author to make a black cop the main focus of his series and I really liked that and of course I fell in love with Alex Cross as Im sure many other readers did as well. This is crime writing at its best and I recommend it to any one who loves a good murder mystery to solve. Just when I thought I knew who the killer was I turn the page only to learn that I was off, and I loved that Patterson knows how to keep us guessing!
