Love the Alex Cross series

Any additional comments?

James Patterson is one of my favorite authors. His stories always grab you from the first page and you don't want to put it down until you're finished; and then you can't wait to read the next one. I don't get a chance to read as often as I like, so being able to listen to the Alex Cross series on audible is a perfect way for me to catch up. This series in particular is my favorite. At the end of each book you want more; it's like an addiction. Jack and Jill is just as engrossing as Along Came a Spider and Kiss the Girls. James Patterson and Alex Cross never disappoints.

Alex cross does it again

Patterson does again this time the book was quick and easy read it will hold your attention keep you guessing all the way to the end I would write highly recommend this book to any Alex Cross fan

Not Patterson's best, but not bad

Narrator tried too hard on voice of Nana Mama, other than that it was not bad. Not sure where it's going with Mrs. Johnson. Alex's encounter with her was strange and a little out of place. Why no mention of Alex's daughter?

Jack and Jill

Another great Alex Cross book. Couldn’t stop listening to this one! Very Good!!! It’s a shorter book but it grabs your interest!

Tring to be a thriller

The story lacks credibility. The subplots don't come together into a story. Alex Cross seems to be to much a super hero. The idea has potential but didn't deliver. I got so bored with it I didn't even finish it.

not worth it!

Would you try another book from James Patterson and/or Blair Underwood and John Rubinstein ?

No, no, and no. boring, I like Blair Underwood as an actor, but his acting in this book is not good.

Would you ever listen to anything by James Patterson again?

later books, I'm not fond of his early work it turns out.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

disappointment

Don't waste your time on this abridged version

Struggled to finish this one - too many sound effects and "over" acting. The story was lost in this very short version.

Great performance - pity about the soryline

Would you try another book from James Patterson and/or Blair Underwood and John Rubinstein ?

This book disappointed - and how. So stretched was the story line that it was at breaking point. So lacking in credibility - it just cut lose.

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

The plot was just fanciful. The poor Dr. was struggling to cope with one situation - so they were piled on ... and on.

What about Blair Underwood and John Rubinstein ’s performance did you like?

Ecellant performance - as an aside

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment- incredulity

Did not like this book. hard to even finish.

narrator good. ending not so good. left u hanging. needed to know more about main characters.

Waste of time and money

What would have made Jack and Jill better?

This book was short and not very well written. The performance by Mr. Underwood was awful and darn-right unprofessional. The writing was sloppy and amateur-ish.

What was most disappointing about James Patterson’s story?

Alex Cross doesn't curse as much as he did in this book. Mr. Cross is much more intelligent and professional in other stories. This book felt unedited and rushed.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Blair Underwood and John Rubinstein ?

No idea, but Blair Underwood's tense voice is laughable.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

I still love Alex Cross.

This is the only Patterson book I haven't enjoyed.
