Once again James Patterson has written a wonderful novel. The audio verison made me fell like I was in the middle of the action. Merry Christmas Alex Cross was a wonderful read sice it is the christmas holiday. I hope this is made into a movie. Keep up the good work James Patterson.

I enjoyed listening to Merry Christmas, Alex Cross. The narrators' reading kept you listening with bated breath.

Good story but guess I expected more from a Christmas book. Always enjoy James Patterson but Alex Cross books are not my favorite of his.

someone who has a strong stomach for torture

no

The performance was okay, completely overshadowed by the disturbing images of the torture of children.

I always like the Alex Cross books, but I would have skipped this one entirely. I almost stopped reading it after the torture scene with the children, but I had hope it would get better. It really didnt. I was disturbed to the end. Not for me.

I am an avid reader of the Alex Cross series. this is one of the best.

Alex Cross

Patterson pieced 2 different stories, both Christmas related, in one book. I was really disappointed when I figured this out, at about the 6 hour point. Both stories live up to your high expectations for Patterson, but the overall feel is just disjointed. I really wish both were better developed separately.

I love the Alex Cross series and will continue to listen, but this book was too chopped up for me. I don't see the point in the two storylines, why couldn't it have been about the hostage situation and not about the terrorist. I didn't get that, why speed through one story line just to go back to another one, I was rather confused and irritated. It wasn't realistic, how many things could go on on one Christmas. The first story line made sense, but the reason they introduced the second, made no sense.

It was ok, pretty predictable, no surprises

Definitely the emotion. You get so involved that you forget that you are listening and sometimes react out loud

Follow up to what?!?!?!?! How can you follow up something that was concluded

I would highly recommend this audiobook to all die-hard Alex Cross fans. Alex faces his biggest challegne now that he's married. He pushes the envelop in this story...almost made me want to slap him, but in the end, you can remember why you feel safe with Alex on the job.

None

My favorite was the snow plow scene, after Alex was shot. Struggling to get out of the way of the plow, I felt like I was right there. Got my adrenaline rushing!!

"Not again!", everytime he's with his family and gets that call.

If you love action, mix in a little intrigue and just a sprinkle of family love, you will love the Alex Cross series. Each book is better than the last. Enjoy!

I have only listened to this wonderful story about Alex Cross.

You actually feel the cold, the snow and the ice from all the characters. This i think would be missed in reading it myself.

This audiobook was so entertaining with lots of sound effects, etc. There were also several readers to give effect to the various characters - it was very enjoyable.
