Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by TAMMY
I HOPE THIS BOOK BECOMES A MOVIE SOON, I DONT EVEN LIKE TO READ BUT I WAS HOOKED FROM THE BEGINNING

Rated 2 of 5 of 5 by Timmy O
I think I'm giving up on Patterson after this book. The only thing I tend to like about his books are the endings (usually some surprise twist)...but it takes too long to get there.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Ashley
this book was excellent. you won't be able to put it down. the ending will have you begging for the next one.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by bob james
Its the best book I have ever read.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by sam harris
what a great book james wrote. i stayed all night to finish the book. I hope James can write more book with Alex cross as the main man.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by zmaag
Patterson knows how to create suspense, lots of character depth, and has that magical touch that makes us empathize with the hero's pains and misery. Too bad he's letting himself become so locked into his own successful formula that he can't break out of it (or does he); create a terrible villain, create a beautiful helper for Alex, kill the pretty helper, and let the villain go free. Then find another pretty helper and start the whole process over again. Does he break out of his mold in Roses are Red? You'll have to read it to find out. And when you've finished the story you'll agree Patterson has turned out another great yarn.

We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves Jacket
