"This is the first of the Alex Cross mysteries. I like the character. I am an action/adventure fan. The first part of the book was all action and I enjoyed that part. But I was not thrilled with the love interest. It was too much like how all the crime TV series lately have introduced too much "soap opera" material. And I could have done without the descriptions of the sexual escapades. Further, when they went to the court room scenes in the middle, it reminded me too much of "Law and Order." I will not likely read the rest of the Alex Cross series."
"Great suspense, definitely kept my attention, but not the best writing ever. I haven't been impressed with his more recent books and hoped I'd like the early ones more, but the characters, dialogue, etc was still just unnatural and unrealistic. The ending baffled me. It was completely unbelievable. A criminal who has already escaped from one prison has 1) found ANOTHER guard at his NEW prison who is willing to help him? and 2) the main character realizes this and does NOTHING? I still gave it 3 because it did what I wanted it to do - scared me and kept my attention."
"My book club decided to go back and read the book that launched Patterson's career. It's suspenseful and intriguing. A fantastic read that's great for discussion."
