yes, but the way you wrote it was insulting. And yes they are easy access, but that simply means a lot of people can read them. But you still need a brain.
spud135 - this guy has sold over 100 million books around the world. You need your brain - to understand, to realise before the character and to see the humanity in his works. And how the fuck (sorry for language) cares how long a chapter is? his writing is pacy and keeps you interested. the books you read because they are 'intelectual' probably need a will of steel to get past pg. 1 because its so goddamn boring. Patterson isn't all good, but long may he live and write.
The amount he's sold is impressive from a business perspective but this is not evidence of the quality of his writing. Tabloid newspapers outsell quality newspapers by millions but does that mean tabloid newspapers are better? Of course not, they are just easier to read. Patterson has himself admitted that his books are easy-access page turners, nothing more nothing less. They hardly compare to genuine literature with integrity such as Birdsong or the Great Gatsby to name just two.
I love the Alex Cross series. I am anxiously awaiting I, ALEX CROSS. The only information I can find is that Alex's niece is murdered and Alex hunts down her killer. I hope it is not the same niece, Naomi, who was in KISS THE GIRLS, as really liked her. But after KISS the girls, she was only mentioned briefly in a few other books. I have to wait until November to read this and it's only july now. BUMMER!!
i've just read CROSS and it's really heart felt. huhuhu, his wife died. i wonder who that guy just called to Alex Cross on the epilogue. The caller says he's the murderer.
Honestly after reading the Maximum ride series I don't think that he is that great of a writer. He writes awesome plots and I have read serveal of his books. One was stupid confusing, but all the others where good.
Do you have a brain? It's braindead literature. It commands that you leave your brain at the door. His books are the intellectual equivalent of a soap opera - they are moreish but ultimately without challenge and utterly formulaic. Read something with chapters longer than 3 pages long, you might like it.
my first Patterson book was suzanne's diary for nicholas... AWESOME book. from there i started the "Cross" series, and on to the woman's murder club.. I must say, James Patterson is an extremely talented writer and i cant wait for the next book!!
I have to admit that I put down my Patterson books for a long because most of them are, more or less, the same. An exciting killer is going to give Alex a run for his money. However, I always come back. They're a quick and exciting read and I can't help loving James' screwed-up villains. My fav has been the Wolf, although the Mastermind was good too.
hes right i started the seris with cross and i was hooked to read the rest cross is still my favrite though and i love the whole seris but i have trouble with one thing all of Alexs kids and lovers are perfect. now flaws errors of any sort. nothing. i think it would be a good turn around to do someting diffrent like have damon hang out with gangsters who alex busts getting into a fight with another gang that would be good.
I can honestly say Patterson's books are the only ones I couldn't put down. Seriously, no matter how hard I tried, even if I WANTED to go to bed, I couldn't.
I like Cross books and even checked out Max Ride, but have to ask if I'm the only one sad he didn't continue the original Max books(The Lakehouse)cause I wanted to see what happened with that story.

i really enjoyed the first couple of cross books he wrote, but the more he wrote the worse they became! they are flat and it doesnt really feel like he has written the later books of the series.
cross sucks, and so does double cross. the themes/plots are very much alike, so no real surprises there.
i saw that "cross country" is available,and theres gonna be another one called "cross-fire".there`re probably gonna be a couple more after that, because his greed can obviously not be satisfied
I totally disagree!!!! the more I read about Alex Cross the more I love james patterson!! And I hope there are more Cross books because I just cannot get enough of this series!!
I read only the first 100 pages in a day and had to stop cause of all the reading from school. I'm so desperate to get back at it. Patterson is truly a great author. If you have friends who don't like to read, give em Cross and im sure they'll like it
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
cross is a fuckin awesome book hands down second to none...the butcher is the shit lol and cross does survive sorry to ruin it for people who havent read it yet but i cant let james leave ya'll hangin lyk that
I have read every single one of his books. I love the Alex Cross series, and I have even got my father and grandmother reading them. James is a legend when it comes to suspenseful writing. Women's Murder club books are awesome as well. Awaiting the release of new books in both series. LOVE HIM!!!
lol if u didnt know this . but there are two movies based of the books. since ur on youtube u can look up the trailers. look for "kiss the girls" and look for "along came a spider"
i no!!!!! "your dr. alex cross..." insert rest of quote here. but even after double cross theres another called cross country. title is unconfirmed though.

Cat and Mouse, Big Bad Wolf and London Bridges are my favs.
I think Will Smith has matured enough as an actor to play Cross. Freeman is great, but the man was already too old to play Cross when they cast him.

I agree 100% Freeman was way too old to play a 40 year old man, lol. Cat and Mouse is my all time favorite Cross novel.

COOL, Morgan Freeman played Alex Cross.
also check out Blood Work. it's based on Michael COnnelly's book. THe movie was made by Clint Eastwood who plays Terry McCaleb in the movie.
I think hollywood should make a movie about Harry Bosch and Chris Noth should portray him.
