Alex Cross, Run

Not all installments in the Alex Cross series are created equal. 'Alex Cross, Run' ranks as one of the very best, in my book. The fine old story formula is here, well executed, involving clever, creative bad guys, and involving the Cross family in just the right amounts. A great performance by Boatman and Boyer, too. All in all, a very nice recovery from the horrendous movie experience with nonactor crossdresser Tyler Perry last year.

It definitely kept my attention, holding my breath as he was being set up by the bad guy with a grudge.

The good people resolution.
The inclusion of softer feelings, morals
along with the contrasting very, very bad people.

NA

Yes. I couldn't but I kept it on much longer than I should.

I'm just grateful to find an author who can leave out the F bombs which are very degrading to me as the listener. I realize that this would be included in people' regular on the job speech, but I'm glad someone doesn't use it.

James Patterson has parlayed what used to be a great reputation as a good mystery writer into an industry to generate money based on his name. His legacy will be that of a writer who created a business based on a talent that never came to bloom. What a shame. I will not buy another one of his books because they are a watered down waste of time. His latest novels sound like they were written by college or high school students who have not yet learned their craft.

I think I've read all of the books in the Alex Cross series and this 20th book in the series didn't disappoint. Fast moving, held my interest and enhanced my daily commute. Not a blockbuster, and not as good as some of the previous books in the series but still a good solid listen. If you haven't read anything else in the series, I recommend you start at the beginning with Along Came a Spider.

I really enjoyed all of the Alex cross books this one was very emotional to me. I don't think you will be disappointed by buying this book or listening to it either.

When John came to the door with the locket to tell Alex they found Ava.

I like hearing the different characters tell the the two parts of the story it's easier to follow along.

Yes the part about the foster child Ava and her drug problems because that touches our 14 year olds today.

This is a must purchase!!!!

Great Narrator, book keep you guessing and love the writer

Yes very much so

All Characters were good not just one was my favorite

No laughing or crying

Love The book

Its a good book but, I listened to it... but I'm starting to think patterson needs to slow down on turning out the books and put more time in to the stroy

I always recommend James Patterson's Books

He describes his characters vividly

the feeling and excitement. and malice of the characters

It made me mad as double ll's! Because I wanted the 16 year old adopted girl to live and become a family member.

But still a awesome book.

The story moved along at a good pace, but I felt as though Patterson thought the more plots, sub plots and another plot he could shove into one story the better it would be. There is no thought process, just a typical crime - good guy get the bad guy. This is about as basic as you can get and proof that money means more than a well written book and that James will continue to crank these out like eggs in a chicken factory. It will be a long while before I buy another Patterson book.

It is boring and a two year old can figure out the plot. No surprise!

I do like the Alex Cross character.

No not really

yes but it would be quite dull.

James Patterson needs to put more plot and twist to his books of late. He is getting very dull very fast.
