Pop Goes the Weasel
Date undefinedThis is the fourth Patterson book that I have read and I am still looking for a five star thriller. So far all of his books have some boring parts where I skip-read, some exciting parts where there are twists and turns but no real suspense, and some parts that are just confusing. I tend to rate his books depending on how much text falls into each of these categories. That said this book had a plot that was not even believable and therefore I really didn't care how it ended. I just wanted to finish it so that I could start on the next one to see if I could find that nugget.
Again like all of his books that I have read, it is a fast read since there is so much white space. Just image a 423 page book split up into 124 chapters. Patterson also devoted two or three pages to dialog between Alex and his family every time he went home. A few times would have been enough to establish that relationship but to continue it became boring and repetitive. The last few pages were not an ending, just the beginning of the next book.

Date undefinedthis is the first James Paterson book i have read and it will be my last. this book is not good, plan and simple. the graphic words and deresptions just made me not like it at all, it might make a good movie but for a book it was not good.

Date undefinedOnce again, Patterson knocks it home with another great book. I really enjoyed this fast paced page turner. It was almost difficult for to not look forward in the book to see how things were going to turn out. The plot and the character development in this book is amazing.
To sum up with out spoiling, Cross is on the hunt again for a killer who is playing a game called the Four Horseman. The killer calls himself Death and is quite bi-polar to say the least. The twists and turn were great. I was a little concerned when half way through the book turned in to a Law and Order type of feel, but have no fear Patterson made to keep the thrill alive throughout the duration.
Once again, another fun read. Also, some people seem to mistake the order of the books. Its helpful (maybe not completely necessary) to read the Cross series in a particular order. Here is a link to a List i put together, hope you find it helpful.
