Merry Christmas, Alex Cross Audiobook

" First half of the book was not so much fun, character story was interesting but felt like it belonged to a John Grisham court novel. Second part took it to a different level continuing with the terrorism theme but overall I miss the serial killer aspect of the book which lead me to the series years ago. "

" Two stories combined in one. Patterson is always easy to read but this was exceptionally easy. It was a good seasonal read. Very predictable. "

" I expected more. Alex has us follow him through two disjointed stories, each with its own interest and intrigue but nothing to do with each other. It was as if the publisher slapped them together to make a pave count in time for the holiday book sales. as far as the stories go, here was nothing that really had me ewwing and ahhing. it left me as soon as I finished it. "

" My least favorite Alex Cross book so far. Alex Cross standing by as children are tortured for the greater good? Really? Not my thing. "

" It was okay. Definitely not my favorite. It's like Patterson took 2 seperate stories that weren't long enough for a full novel and put smushed them together making it set on Christmas Eve/Christmas Day... "

" So good I read it in a day! "

" A little slow for me. Not the best Alex Cross novel for me. "

" This book seemed like a collection of short stories, and I was very disappointed. He can do much better when he wants to. "

" Not one of Patterson's best - just ok. "

" This was book disappointing. I hope Patterson has not lost his touch. "

" I enjoyed reading this book, but there was so much going on, it such a short time frame. Yet, over all very interesting. "

" Another good outing with Alex. I really enjoy watching the development of this character and there is always an interesting twist or two to keep the mind engaged. I think this is one of Patterson's stronger characters and it's keeping me wanting more. "

" Great book! Really enjoyed it, and it was just perfect for the holiday season! "

" If I were a member of his family, I'd be upset with him too. Another good race to the finish by James Patterson. "

" Not up to Patterson's best. Very formulaic with hard to follow action sequences which don't really lend themselves to the written word. "

" I really enjoyed this story. It was a quick read and the fact that it was a freebie with a purchase made it all the better. Thank you, James Patterson. "

" This was a quick read & I liked it! It was an exciting page turner! What I didn't like was the 2 separate stories. I liked each one individually & thought it could have been 2 books with more in depth stories of each. "

" I really like this book. I can always read Patterson's books fast. It flows. The plot was good. A former terrorist comes back. Cross's family hates for him to be gone so much at Christmas, especially. One of Patterson's best characters. "

" How can you not love Alex Cross? Another great book and a nice little tease into the next one--can't wait to read it! And the next Private one as well! Great job, Mr. Patterson! "

" So, so. Quick read but not a fav. "

" If you have to write a book with 2 different stories, then you do not have enough of a "story" to publish a book. Another Patterson disappointment...I miss the old Alex Cross books so much! "

" What a thrill...loved this book. I highly recommend especially to rail fans and Amtrak employees! My heart is still pounding! "

" It has been a long time since I have read an Alex Cross book. I still enjoy the fast pacing of a Patterson novel but I had forgotten how dark the books could be. Some of it really got to me and I am not really squeamish. "

" Could not put down. Always love Alex Cross. Too bad he can't have a quiet day. Ha ha. "

" I love all Patterson's books and can hardly put them down. I especially love the Alex Cross series! My father-in-law and I take turns buying them! "
