 Oh PUH-LEEZE this is getting lame (some spoilers) | |
| For the most part I like the Alex Cross books but please let's change just a few things - can't his children do something wrong just to prove they are normal. And he has fallen in love AGAIN that means that she will be in peril by the next book and probably dead in the one after that. Good thing that his perfect children don't stay attached to these dead girlfriends. And the subplot about Christine well for goodness sake she loves her baby and now that she isn't having nightmares any longer because Alex got her kidnapped for a year and the maniac is still on the loose well let her have some peace. Baby Alex (already following the the footsteps of his perfect sibs) will be just fine even if he is raised someplace other than DC. Amazing that Kyle has so much freedom in a super max prison. Yep I think the formula is wearing thin behind every corner there is a conspiracy, Alex doesn't seem to realize how much danger he constantly brings to his home and family, and though he wants to catch the bad guys through countless red herrings he is never quite at the goal line. Oh yes the Wolf seems to me he shouldn't be hard to spot since he sounds like a gorilla in a well tailored suit who leaves bodies and bloody noses wherever he goes. Alsoi if he is so vicious how did the 14 year old hacker escape his wrath Hmmmm ? | |
 What a waste of paper | |
| A pervious reviewer hit it on the nose. Patterson can't write. It astonishes me that he's a best seller, considering the putrid crap that he produces. A 4th grader with a crayon could put together a more compelling storyline. Steven Segall movies have better developed characters.
Try a decent thrill writer like John Le Carre. | |
| Missing about 100 pages | |
| As someone else said, Patterson just missed with this book. Another unsatisfying ending, with the bad guy not getting "his," and the good guy getting the shaft. Needed another hundred pages or so to bring a few of those strings to a good ending. Probably going to be a "Bigger, Badder Wolf" in the future. Hope it ends better. |
