I do like his writing, but I tend to get tired of the similarities between books of this genre. I do think that Patterson is a favorite of a friend of mine, so I will be pointing her to this review.

Not great literature, but interesting. I agree that the character of Ben Harper was not as developed as I would have liked. He did a better job of developing the character of the murderer. I think we are going to see Ben Harper again. I read the book and actually enjoyed it. Not great literature, but interesting.

I've not read any of the Alex Cross, but I love the Women's Murder Club series. This one was not nearly as good as other Patterson stuff. I didn’t really enjoy this book either.

I understand that he comes up with the basic plot, and the co-author writes the book! I haven't read any of the Alex Cross books; I'm way behind the times. Kathy - I changed the title of the post, I don't want the FTC to accuse me of false advertising :) I think I might like this as an audio (when I'm multi-tasking and looking for entertainment), but it sounds like I'd get frustrated by spending precious reading time with a hardcopy.

I have to admit that Sherry's post is just as good. I have this book. Carl read it and enjoyed it but didn't think it was great.

I get annoyed (often) with Patterson's seemingly careless attitude in cranking out his books, but my affinity for Cross is strong enough to allow for the occasional diversion. If we aren't talking Cross, however, I'm not sure I can do it. I've even tried the kids books (Maximum Ride, Daniel X) with my son and daughter in the car, and was really disappointed.
