Critic reviews

Praise for James Patterson: 'Ticks like a time bomb - full of threat and terror

Brilliantly terrifying...so exciting I had to stay up all night to finish it

If there really were human superheroes, Alex Cross would be at the head of the class...and, with each instalment in the series, Patterson makes sure his superhero gets bigger and better while at the same time becomming more vulnerable.

Such a boring story

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I think it was Oscar Wilde who said the famous words, if one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, whats the point in reading it at all. That is so true for this book, the book is so far fetched and insignificant I could barely remember the plot to write this review, it seems like James Patterson tapped into previously written books just to pop out yet another book from his well oiled book making machine. No doubt James Patterson has written some truly great books, this one however is not one of them, it was a waste of my money and I will never listen to it or read it ever again

Would you ever listen to anything by James Patterson again?

Yes I would, just not this one

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

The narration was great as usual from those two and made the book more interesting for about two seconds until even they had to succumb to the horrible writing and outrageously boring storyline.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Cat and Mouse?

all of them, I would not have published that book.
