A review by sueotwell
Along Came a Spider by James Patterson

5.0

I decided to read this book after spotting the movie on tv. I wanted to read the book then watch the movie. Best choice I could have done, if I would have watched that movie first I probably would not have read the book assuming it was as bad as the movie. The book gives so much detail and the characters are well developed and loved (and the bad guy hated of course). The movie makes alex cross much older than he is in the books and the whole way this story went down and was solved was all wrong. I can not say it enough if you can not do a book justice do not make it a movie. It wasnt fair in this one that Alex Cross was so old and that the romance between two main characters did not happen at all in the movie. I know I am supposed to be giving a review for the book but I have tied in how awful the movie was compared to how wonderful the book was. I plan to continue to read this series although there are a ton of them to read. I am sure, at least for now, I will enjoy them all.
