    "Two unrelated stories with a too simple ending"
    Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

    This book seemed a little sloppy. Easily resolved problems and no reason to get involved.


    If you’ve listened to books by James Patterson before, how does this one compare?

    I usually love James Patterson and his co writers, but this one was not up to the standards I am used to.


    Do you think Merry Christmas, Alex Cross needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

    Definitly not. One was more than enough.

    The pace of the action throughout the story, never a dull moment.

    The relationship between Alex and Sampson always makes me laugh.

    What did you love best about Merry Christmas, Alex Cross?

    James Patterson never fails to deliver. Merry Christmas Alex Cross is an entertaining read.

    As always with any James Patterson book your on the edge of your seat wondering if Alex will get there in time to save the day .

    I like the fact that there was more then one narrator.

    Story
    "Typical Alex Cross"
    What did you like best about Merry Christmas, Alex Cross? What did you like least?

    Alex Cross is his usual intuitive detective, this time solving two crises when he'd rather be home for Christmas.


    How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

    The snarky bad guy's voice from the first crisis is too close to the voice of another character in the second crisis


    Did the narration match the pace of the story?

    Yes..and additional sound effects were thrown in


    Do you think Merry Christmas, Alex Cross needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

    There's always room for another fast-paced Alex Cross for an entertaining read. It's not a literary masterpiece, but it's entertaining

    "WOW! Another Alex Cross winner."
    Would you consider the audio edition of Merry Christmas, Alex Cross to be better than the print version?

    The multiple narrator voices were terrific. I found that I enjoyed this more than I expected to.


    What other book might you compare Merry Christmas, Alex Cross to and why?

    It is difficult to compare this to other books beyond the Alex Cross series, and this does not dissapoint. The story moves at what feels like light speed, with twists and turns that make it incedibly difficult to put down the iPod.


    What about the narrators’s performance did you like?

    I really enjoyed the multiple voices.


    Any additional comments?

    I enjoyed and appreciated Tyler Perry as Alex Cross in the movie of the previous book. The performance was powerful enough that now Mr. Perry's face will forever be the face that I see when listening to or reading these stories. It was really enjoyable to have that image with me as I became emotionally invested in this story.
