Series: Alex Cross
by Author James Patterson
Cross Country (2008)
Mary, Mary (2006)
A few flaws, but most will enjoy Patterson's latest Dr. Alex Cross thriller!We're a longtime Patterson reader and definitely prefer his solo-authored series featuring Alex Cross, now a top FBI specialist, to most of his collaborations with other writers in which presumably our famous author doesn...
London Bridges (2005)
The appeal of James Patterson's work cuts wide and deep. He is not a stylist; one could harp on his occasionally choppy transitions, his sketchy descriptions, or his sometimes-irritating jump from first person to third. But what cannot be denied is that the man is a storyteller, which is what a w...
Four Blind Mice (2003)
Reading a James Patterson novel is akin to eating soggy cereal -- eatable but not necessarily the first choice for breakfast. With that being said, I gave this one four stars. Call me a hypocrite, if you like. But the rating is not so much on Patterson's skills as a writer (which he has few, i...
Kiss the Girls (2000)
Second in the Alex Cross thriller series and revolving around a black psychologist-detective in Washington D.C.My TakeI'm all the way up to page 7, and all I can think of is GROSS. How do people think like this! It's disgusting. And they seriously think this is okay???!He wants to feel real roman...
Along Came a Spider (2003)
First in the Alex Cross thriller series and revolving around Alex, a Washington D.C. detective with a background in psychology.My TakeThis is one of the few stories in which the movie adaptation is better. It wasn't until almost the end that Along Came a Spider started to more closely resemble th...
Roses are Red (2001)
tJames Patterson has always been a favorite author of mine, and I had my bar set high when I first opened the front cover of Roses are Red. In fact, the first part of the first sentence had me hooked; “Brianne Parker didn’t look like a bank robber or a murderer --” (3). Who wouldn’t want to read ...
Pop Goes the Weasel (2000)
Originally on my book blog!Can I just flail instead of write a review? This was a masterpiece and you should believe me because I don’t use that word often. Everything was fabulous in this book. The characters (that’s nothing new), the plot (also nothing new), the plot twists (go figure), and the...
Cat and Mouse (2007)
Originally seen on my book blog!Alex Cross’s (and mine) worst nightmare is back. Gary Soneji is back with a vengeance and will stop at nothing to get back at Alex Cross for “ruining his life.” Can he be stopped this time? While Alex is trying to stop Gary a second time, there is another killer on...
Jack & Jill (2003)
Third in the Alex Cross thriller series and revolving around Dr./Deputy Chief Alex Cross.My TakeYeah, Jack & Jill is one of the few stories I did not finish. I like his characters — that Alex is an intriguing man, and I adore his kids and Nana Mama. Sampson sounds pretty good too, hubba hubba.BUT...
The Big Bad Wolf (2004)
"The Big Bad Wolf ... Not so Big, Not So Bad!!!"James Patterson is such a well known, prolific writer and sought after international author, that his numerous books have been read and reviewed a myriad of times, by people all around the globe.I generally try to read a fair percentage of other rev...
Kill Alex Cross (2011)
A good thriller. First "Alex Cross" book I've read. This was an easy read once you got into it. However I am getting a bit bored of the Alex cross books
Merry Christmas, Alex Cross (2012)
I was shocked with the position Alex was put in, and I really felt bad for him for once. Most of what he encounters is by his own choice because he just can't seem to say no. This time he could not say no and I really felt bad for the position he was in.It is strange that I started reading the ...
Alex Cross, Run (2013)
Most books do not hold my attention. This is not the case with most of James Patterson's books. "Alex Cross, Run" is certainly no exception. I loved how there were 3 different lives that all got brilliantly intertwined in one big murder mystery. One of my favorite parts was reading from the view ...
Hope to Die (2014)
"It was ok" sums up my feelings towards this book fairly well. I borrowed it from a friend who bought in the airport on our way to New Zealand and couldn't fit it in his bag on the trip home. Spoilers follow.First of all I didn't love the narraters voice, it didn't seem to change despite the pers...
