In James Patterson's new novel which is famous character Alex Cross. Cross's life is interrupted yet again with a telephone call, ripping him from is his life of family and peace. The case is full of dark mayhem and disturbing details leading to a case like no other Alex has ever faced. His niece has fallen victim in this case making it personal for him. With tragedy befalling Nana Mama at home, Alex is in the fight of his life ... I thought the book was fun and entertaining and definitely worthy of a case for Alex Cross.

A book to own and share with others. Readable again and again. Go Alex Cross...
my co-worker intrduced me to James Patterson a couple of years ago and I've been reading his books ever since. I have purchased atleast 35 of them, haven't read any that I have not liked. would reccomend this author to any book reader.

I bought this book; thereby, buying the most recent book by James Patterson regarding Alex Cross. I liked this one better than any others because it involved so many different people, like an "update". I was surprised Nana was allowed to live - but am glad she did. I also thought Alex's love life would go ahead further than it did - perhaps in another one. I enjoy Samson being in the story, I wish he could be more involved - but like before, perhaps another time.

THIS IS THE BEST JAMES PATTERSON BOOK I HAVE READ IN A LONG LONG TIME. I AM A HUGE FAN AND HAVE READ ABOUT 99% OF HIS STUFF. I, ALEX CROSS HAS EVERY ELEMENT THAT A GOOD BOOK SHOULD HAVE. IT KEEPS YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT, AND I READ IT SO FAST AT TIMES I HAD TO RE-READ BC I WAS SO INTERESTED IN WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. DEF. DO NOT TAKE MY WORD FOR THIS THOUGH, BUY THIS BOOK AND READ IT FOR YOURSELF. EVEN IF YOU HAVE NEVER READ A PATTERSON BOOK YOU WILL ENJOY THIS!

Any/all books by James Patterson are worth reading.. Regardless if they are a mystery or drama, his words and his choice of writing make the book worth reading. Its hard to ever put down one of his books.. I believe his best book was "Trial". Although it was based on the past, not present, it taught me to value and appreciate today's society.

James Patterson has become my favorite author. His stories are well-written.This book was no exception. I have read all of his Alex Cross Series and they were great. I would highly recommend his books to anyone that likes murder mysteries.

This is a great book! Sex, lies, coverups, call girls, presidents, secret service, death and dismemberment! What more could you ask for? From the first paragraph to the end it was none stop action and titillating mental games! This is one of the Finest Alex Cross books by James Patterson that I have ever read and I have read them all! Must read!

I love anything James Patterson writes. I especially like his "series" type books. I.E.: The Murder Club, Alex Cross books. I bought the book as I could not find it at our local library as I'm afraid folks hoard James Patterson books! (I know I do!)

I love James Patterson and especially Alex Cross stories. They always keep me guessing and surprise me in the end. I have read all of the Alex Cross books and had to have this one too. Great book.

I am a huge James Patterson fan. I've probably read everything he's ever written, except for the kids' stuff. Most of his works are great but he may be trying to get a little too prolific and throwing quality to the way side.
I couldn't follow the plot line in this book and keep up with the characters.
I got 30 pages deep and decided to start over, which I did. It didn't help. I was still befuddled. Of course, if you're a Patterson fan as I, you will still want to read it. Maybe it's just me.

Thank you, my daughter is a Huge James Patterson fan, especially the Alex Cross series. I got her started reading them when I was in a college literature class. We read several authors, James Patterson being one of my favorite also. We both also like Iris Johanson, Sidney Sheldon, Daniel Steel and Stephanie Meyers.

Like all of his books they leave you ready for the next one.
I can not believe the speed of which his books read. They have always been hard to let go. i have to read them with a little time so I dont go cover to cover and forget my day.

James Patterson is one of my favorite authors. I have read all of his books, this is another great book by a great author.

Great story as usual by James Patterson. The plot has all the twists and turns an Alex Cross fan has come to expect. Read the whole book in one sitting.

There is nothing wrong with any James patterson books.They are great read.Ofcourse I love mysteries.I have a pretty good colection But I had heard about this book from my broher,how good it is so I got it for myself.I have not read it yet as I have been reading another book.But like I said nothing is wrong with his books.I thing he is a great writer and I love the characters in this series of his books.So if you like mysteries Ales Cross series is a great read.

I am not finished with this book yet, however, I can say what I read so far is very good. James Patterson is a very good author. His books are captivating until the end.

It is a great book I loved the part where his girl friend is there for Nana Mama, at the hospital and at home. When Alex talked to Nana Mama about what decisions he had to make, while she was in a coma was very moving. The closeness of family is a wonderful example for all families and that is one reason I buy Alex Cross books.

Have enjoyed James Patterson's books in the past. This one (I, Alex Cross)

was not up to par with his usual writings!!

Yet another awesome book written about Alex Cross by James Patterson. Suspense turning every page, finished it in 2 days, that's how awesome this story was!

I BOUGHT THIS BOOK AS A CHRISTMAS GIFT & WAS EXTREMELY PLEASED. THE BOOK WAS THE BEST PRICE I COULD HAVE FOUND ANYWHERE. THE RECEPIENT WAS VERY PLEASED, AS HE IS A BIG ALEX CROSS FAN! THERE WAS NOTHING ABOUT THIS BOOK I WAS DISPLEASED WITH.

I loved this book. I like to read patterson books. He is one of my favorite authors. I read this book in a day and a half. Could not put it down. It is definetlyl a MUST READ book. I would recommend it to everyone.

I read James Patterson a lot, great author, good stories and I will be looking here for more of his books.

If you are a James Patterson fan, you will like this book. It is a quick read and was a little too fluffy for me. Still, as I said, if you like James Patterson you will enjoy.
