    "Family Time is Fleeting"

    Alex Cross has a lot on his plate in this latest outing. You will find him dealing with a mad man, then another re-occurring character who has some very nasty plans with the people of Washington DC.

    What to say? I really enjoyed this book. Since the second book is already out as I write this, be aware this is a 'to be continued' storyline.

    Enjoy it!

    I enjoy story being read to me. It relaxes the soul and mind at the end of the day, especially when you have a great reader/narrator.

    Story
    "Guaranteed to put you to sleep!"
    Would you try another book from James Patterson and/or the narrators?

    James Patterson used to be one of my favorite authors...NO MORE! He has lost his touch. The story is so unbelievable with Nana Mamma, kids and Bri whining about Alex working a holiday and Alex going into a hostage situation TWICE!


    What could James Patterson have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

    Get Michael Connelly to write for him.


    Who would you have cast as narrator instead of the narrators?

    The male narrators weren't too bad but Christin Milioti was awful.


    Any additional comments?

    This is it I'm not going to be suckered into any more James Patterson books. I'm cured!
