Cross Country - My Final Review

Finally. I finished it. I don't get to read as much or as quickly as I used to, but I don't think I can even blame the time it took to read this one on Preston. Even though he did manage to walk by and close the book announcing, "The End" several times as I sat on the couch reading. This time, however, I think the blame lies more with James Patterson.

In this novel, Alex is once again chasing a serial killer. And I'm not sure if it's the fact that most of the chase takes place out of the country that bothers me, because he's done that before, too. I think it was all the violence in this one. A lot of people die! It was a bit much for me. I'm also used to the camaraderie between Sampson and Alex, and there wasn't much of that either.

But as always, James Patterson ties it all up at the end in true Alex Cross fashion. So, overall I think Alex Cross fans will forgive Patterson and look forward to the next installment.

If you've read it, let me know what you think.
