"Roses are Red by James Patterson is an exciting mystery that is led by D.C's top detective Alex Cross. A group of professional bank robbers and their leader "The Mastermind" plan and execute perfect robberies while committing malicious murders of "innocent" people. Crosses life is a mess throughout the book as he deals with family problems while trying to stop the craziest psychopath he has every seen. This book is not only a great read but it also shows the importance of family life and how quickly someone can be on the edge of dieing. It makes you realize how much you should cherish life and enjoy every minutes of it. James Patterson is an exciting author who makes reading become more of a movie in your head. His easy to read style of writing and his suspenseful scenes makes you feel as if you're following the book through a video camera. "He dived off the deck-which was five floors above the street"... "Francis had made a dive five stories down to a shimmery blue swimming pool"(Page 362). He draws pictures in your head from everything from crazy murderers to his valued family situations. I could never put this book down since from chapter to chapter I couldn't predict what was going to happen next. The only down side to this book was that some times I felt like the characters did things that put them in danger that could have been easily avoided if they had used common sense. If you're a Law and Order or CSI crime lover, then this book is definitely for you. It doesn't matter whether you're fourteen or fifty, Patterson writes in a way so that anyone can enjoy it as long as you love a good mystery. So if you are an action junkie who loves unpredictable twist and turns, then Roses are Red is without a doubt a great book for you. I would give it 5 stars out of five. This book is an absolute thriller and roller coaster right up to the end."
"Wow, so I finished in 24 hours... another page-turning thriller. Couldn't put it down. I'll admit, I started the series toward the end, before realizing it was a series, so I knew some things, but didn't have the history on them. This was definitely the book to shed some light on those things. There was one event particularyly that I'd been looking for as I've started back from the beginning. As I start each book I consider the idea, is this the one where it happens? I thought about here and dismissed it... It wasn't until the very last page that it was revealed- the last sentence in fact!! This book was full of twists and surprises! This may be a favorite in the series..."
"I have read most of james patterson's alex cross books and although overall they are pretty good, the problem i have is they are so suspenseful up to the end and then sort of fizzle out especially Cross, and some of the atrocious acts his serial killers play out are a little disturbing--mostly because i lay in bed at night thinking there probably really are sickos like that out there living in the same world as my children"
