Very dark, but definitely a page turner. This is the first of a long series of Alex Cross books...will I get sucked in? We shall see.

Patterson's books are so popular that I assumed it would be a well-written, well paced, slick piece of writing. Major disappointment. Does his writing improve in later books? I don't think I'll be finding out.

Very good story but a tough read.
Favorite quote from the book:
“It’s all right to put the weight of the world on your shoulders sometimes, if you know how to take it off.”

such a details story, which I did enjoy. It wasn’t as fast paced as I’d have wanted, but I am definitely going to continue with the Alex Cross novels.
