" The plotlines of the two villains don't overlap very well; it reads like two novellas crammed together into the same book. But all the little Alex Cross touches (and the Soneji bits) were enjoyable. "

" Alex Cross teams with an ally to chase one crook and suddenly finds himself in the midst of fighting another, unexpected foe. This is a great potboiler with short chapters and abrupt changes of narration, meaning another great Alex Cross book. "

" I think this is the best Cross novel so far. Patterson makes the story complex and thrilling by changing narrators. First Alex meets up with Gary Soneji (antagonist in book 1, Along Came a Spider). I don't ant to give anything in the novel away. Kyle Craig is still adamant about needing Alexs help about the Mr smith case. The FBI thinks Mr. Smith is complex, but is he really? Or is he just as simple as your average serial killer? Thomas Pierce was finishing up his studies to be a doctor at Harvard when Mr Smith kills his lover Isabella. Mr Smith has now moved on to murdering in Europe. Alex is in love with Christine and I love their relationship. I love the language and feelings Patterson uses when Alex is talking about her. Excited to start Pop Goes the Weasel. "
