Reseñas de la Crítica

Fine, full-blooded entertainment from start to finish.

Captivating . . . As always, Patterson provides a fast-paced thriller full of surprising but realistic plot twists . . . Cross is one of the best and most likable characters in the modern thriller genre.

It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer: his uncanny skill in creating living, breathing characters we truly feel for and seamless, lightning-fast plots. I do this for a living, and he still manages to keep me guessing from the first to last page ... Simply put: Nobody does it better. (JEFFERY DEAVER)

Behind all the noise and the numbers, we shouldn't forget that no one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades. The Alex Cross series proves it. (LEE CHILD, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series)

Twenty years ago, I wrote, "Along Came a Spider is the best thriller I've come across in many a year. It deserves to be this season's no. 1 bestseller and should instantly make James Patterson a household name." A household name, indeed. (NELSON DEMILLE)

Alex Cross is a legend. (HARLAN COBEN)

James Patterson is The Boss. End of. (IAN RANKIN, bestselling author of the Inspector Rebus series)

Every once in a while a writer comes along and fundamentally changes the way people read. He or she is so bright, so innovative, so industrious that what they envision and create becomes the measure by which all others are judged. In 1993 one such writer - James Patterson - began to do just that ... James Patterson is the gold standard by which all others are judged. (STEVE BERRY, bestselling author of the Colton Malone series)

[Alex Cross] has become one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time, a character for the ages. (DOUGLAS PRESTON and LINCOLN CHILD)

Patterson boils a scene down to the single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It's what fires off the movie projector in the reader's mind. (MICHAEL CONNELLY)

A bit over the top but engaging

The story goes a bit overboard, with so much wild stuff happening. At one point Dr Cross is chasing two sets of serial killers, one a child killer and the others political assassins, and so much is happening that it would be difficult to make this into a movie without it feeling borderline preposterous. But Patterson writes in a very easy listening style, and BECAUSE so much is happening it definitely never gets boring.

The reader does a good job, although I found myself giggling a couple times at the over-dramatic way he often ends every other chapter, by suddenly raising his voice like there was three exclamation points at the end of the chapters.

Enjoyable experience.
