Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Jerry Goldman
This is a really great story. The characters are well drawn and compelling. The plot does'nt move too fast or too slow. And most of all the concept is really fresh although I don't want to ruin the story for anyone all I can say is that the ending is surprising. For anyone who enjoys a sense of mystery I recommend this novel, also I would recommend Paul Omeziri's Descent into Illusion, on of the best novels ever.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Annastasia
I really enjoyed the book .. I found it very hard to put it down. I must say "Roses are Red" was much more true to life , however this book kept you on the egde.. very suspense filled!!!

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by mariam
This book has so many twists and turns! It makes you want to keep reading. And the ending makes you want more of the story. Alex Cross is the universal good guy. He keeps you rooting for him. This is the kind of book that you want to finish in just one day. It is a perfect companion when you have nothing to do.

Rated 4 of 5 of 5 by Lauren
i read this book as a suggestion from a friend of mine who loves reading as much as me. i couldn't put it down! i love patterson's style of writing and have read several other books of his. they all have intrigued, i have yet to find a book by him that i don't finish in just days!

Rated 3 of 5 of 5 by Anonymous
The prolific Patterson is back with another Alex Cross novel, in which he finally confronts 'The Mastermind' and enters the netherworld of vampires. Although most media reviewers feel that this isn't Patterson's best, the short snappy chapters will undoubtedly keep you on your toes. Read the first 15 chapters and decide by yourself - just click on the 'excerpt' link above.
