Along Came a Spider
Alex Cross, Book 1
I Picked Up This Book Because: I want to watch the show but of course I need to read the source material first.
Media Type: Audiobook
Source: HC Public Library
Dates Read: 12/1/24 - 12/3/24
Stars: 3.5 Stars
Narrator(s): Taye Diggs
The Characters:
Alex Cross:
Jezzie Flanagan
Gary Sonji, Solomon (or maybe Sampson, Alex’s BFF), Nana Momma, Alex’s Kids
The Story:
Writing: Good. Fast paced with a lot of storylines. Dark and gritty almost urban fantasy leaning.
Overall Interest: This is a book you have to pay attention to, or you will be lost. The twist and turns are non-stop and I honestly don’t think I caught all the nuances of the story.
Length of Reading Time: It is a long book but worth it.
Re-read-ability: No.
