Book Reviews of Cross (Alex Cross)
Book Review: An almost... but not quite good story
Summary: 3 Stars
The book has its thrilling parts... but not always.
The plot could be predictable... if you pay attention to it.
The grieve for Maria is fine... but harping.
The love of his kids is beautiful... and just that.
The very end of the book is... good enough.
Book Review: Another fast ride.
Summary: 4 Stars
Once again Mr Patterson has given us a look into the life of Alex Cross. There is something that has always made this character endearing. Could it be the relationship with his children or the way he allows his Grandmother to guide him when he needs it. Then of course there are the bad guys that he has to find and stop. With the help of his ex-partner John Sampson he opens up the old wounds created by the death of his wife Maria as it seems that her killer has once again entered his life. I really enjoyed this one.
Book Review: Back on the road
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first review in amazon, but I have read Alex Cross Novels since Roses are Red, that was my first book and I was way surprise! I read it in one night and from that point on I became a James Patterson Fan. But I have to admitt I didnt like that much Big Bad Wolf and London Bridges for a personal reason it didnt feel like a Alex Cross novel. Mary Mary was better, but with Cross I think that the Alex Cross series are taking again the right path, returning to its beginnings. Thats the really interesting part. I recommend this book for those fans of Alex Cross Novel or new readers that want suspense all the way!. I have
already bought double Cross!.
I am anxious of hearing what is Kyle Craig up too! ...
Book Review: Blast from the past resurfaces for much needed revenge from Cross
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm rather fond of the series, it's a comfort to sink into so you won't find any harsh lashings about it not being perfect, it's another ride in the body of Alex Cross, reading these books takes me into his skin and makes me live his life through his character and book twelve is a snakes eating its own tail but in a good way. Alex is on the trail of a killer who has haunted him for the past eleven years, the man who took Maria's life, the one who extinguished the existence of the perfect wife and mother and the person that the doctor loved most. The reader gets to see who took the life and why, some surprises and new action comes to place that gives the book a refreshing new direction, past is stirred as it catches up to the future, I rather enjoyed this chapter in the life of doctor Cross as he not only changes jobs but also takes on an enemy who will make the punishment harder to deliver than it looks, if caught one on one with the man who killed the love of your life do you shoot or recite his rights, the more the scale tips the blurrier the line between restraint and cold revenge, and Alex has more choices than time, all ticking against him.
As usual this series always delivers a villain per every book or so, this one centers around the erratic but cunning Butcher who slides though law and order like the best ice skater on super speedy skates. He damages and leaves messages, his life almost a farce is hard to track and pin point and he might give Alex some much needed answers, as usual the reader gets to share the villain's and also the good guys mind which is the best thing about these books, the ending is so interesting that I can't wait to read the next in series!
