Book Reviews of London Bridges (Alex Cross)
Book Review: A fast read is not necessarily a great read. Still, it's passable fun
Summary: 3 Stars
"London Bridges" is a shallow, yet fast and painless read. Slick and impersonal like the last several Alex Cross thrillers, enough warmth and personality still comes through in the main character to somewhat make up for the goofy plot contrivances and lack of depth. And it was also kind of entertaining to see Mr. Patterson, apparently with a straight face, revise the true identity of the villainous "Wolf" every fifteen pages or so. I swear, there seemed to be at least twenty distinct dramatic "revelations" about the Wolf's secret identity during the course of the book, each one almost immediately discredited in favor of the next "no, it's really HIM!" or "no, it's really HER!" moment. Sheesh, it was enough to make your head spin.
But, in the end, shortcomings aside, "London Bridges" is silly, harmless fun. But, I have to admit, the best I can say about the book is that it's not boring, which is not quite the same thing as saying that it's very good.
