Packed with white-knuckle twists.An incredibly suspenseful read with a one-of-a-kind villain who is as terrifying as he is intriguing. One of the best thrillers of the year.I wrote,"Along Came a Spider is the best thriller I've come across in many a year.

Just try running away from this one.(Alex Cross) has become one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time,a character for the ages.Behind all the noise and the numbers,we shouldn't forget that no one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has,in spades. The Alex Cross series proves it.Alex Cross is a legend.It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer: his uncanny skill in creating living,breathing characters we truly feel for and seamless,lightning-fast plots. I do this for a living,and he still manages to keep me guessing from the first to last page...Simply put: Nobody does it better.Every once in a while a writer comes along and fundamentally changes the way people read. He or she is so bright,so innovative,so industrious that what they envision and create becomes the measure by which all others are judged. In 1993 one such writer - James Patterson - began to do just that...James Patterson is the gold standard by which all others are judged.Patterson boils a scene down to the single,telling detail,the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It's what fires off the movie projector in the reader's mind.James Patterson is The Boss. End of.Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... there's no stopping his imagination.Patterson is in a class by himself.
