After 10 years of not reading any fiction books, I picked this up. I read James Patterson's first 4 books or so way back. I wasn't disappointed with Double Cross. This is a great thriller and I enjoyed the setting in Washington DC. The ending was a surprise and believable.

My First Alex Cross book [Posted on 2009-01-03]
This was my first James Patterson and/or Alex Cross book and I was very disappointed. I found the story line contrived and there were just too many unanswered questions about how and why things happened. I also felt the connection between the two separate killers was very weak.

Also, like one reviewer said earlier, it really bothered me when Cross and his girlfriend took off to Montana leaving his family unprotected KNOWING this guy had escaped and had pledged to get revenge on Cross. When they announced they were going to Montana, my very first thought was "Why on earth would he leave his family unprotected NOW?"

This was my first and probably my last Patterson book.

Another 2 day read.....at most.... [Posted on 2009-01-05]
Typical Patterson, enjoyable, disturbing, etc....Love Alex Cross so I will continue to read his saga and enjoy. However, after the first 2 A.C. books, nothing compares. This is light, fast, very short chapters and really just ends too quickly.....

Bad Beyond Belief [Posted on 2009-01-07]
There was no greater fan when I began reading Cross' books. About six books ago, I had not only stopped reading his books - I had taken him off my excel list of good authors.

A friend passed this book onto me, so thought I would give it one more try. Big mistake. It consists of incomplete chapters, which merely ring up one victim after another, so they can promptly be dispatched by the primary killer or a friend, while Cross, et al, do essentially nothing.

There is no plot, no suspense, no intelligent thought. In the last "dramatic" (not) scene, they have "killed" the really bad guy, Cross' nemisis forever, only to have him jump up unharmed, wearing a bullet proof vest. Who could have ever guessed? Could he be saved for another book? Throw up!

His book, Cross Creek, has also been given to me. I will dispose of it without opening it. I have 50 mystery authors on my reading list, all of whom have written mostly enjoyable, suspenseful, interesting books. Mr. Cross will never again be part of that list.
