" About the racial tensions in a small town in Mississippi in the early 1900s. You see the good and bad in the deep south during this period, but it is a real page turner. "

" Wow, what a recovery! From the trashy "Swimsuit" of the summer, Patterson delivers a strong turn of the last century story of the racially charged south in "Trial." Strong, believable characters remind us that our present political conflicts are mild in comparison to our own past. "

" This is the first thing I've ever read "by" James Patterson. I say "by" because for all I know the secondary writer wrote the whole thing. If this is truly Patterson's style in all his books, I wonder why they're so popular. Just not my thing, I guess. "

" This was much different than his other Alex Cross stories. Based mostly in the early 1900's when lynching and the KKK was still in force. Fictional but worth the read. "

" A good read. This story is about Alex Cross's grandmother and her family when to be a negro in the south was dangerous. A story of lynchings and mob violence which made the Cross's grandmother the lady she now is in the present day novels. "

" It was different from James Patterson's typical style. It was still a quick, easy read but had a much deeper topic level (the lynchings in the south after the civil war). Very good though. "
