This was a really good book. I always enjoy James Patterson's books, especially due to the short chapters that seem to keep the story moving along faster. I think anyone who likes thrillers would definetly like this story.

Wow! This book kept you guessing! Couldn't put it down as is the case with most James Patterson books!!!

Patterson is a favorite of mine and my favorite character is the likeable Alex Cross - this is an Alex Cross book, with murder, mystery, Alex's family life and psychological unraveling.

This is an older James Patterson book when he was at his best. Alex has to catch bank robbers who have no regard for human life and kill indiscrimately. young children, women or men. His family life has problems also. Great book. Impossible to put down.
Another great thriller from Patterson. The Alex Cross is definitely my favorite detective. The ending is sure to keep readers waiting for the next one as it left me totally surprised. I read this book faster than any book I have ever read. I couldn't keep my head out of this book!
HEATHER P. (I just finished Roses are Red by James Patterson and it was a great read. I started the book on April 20th. The book was very interesting, I enjoyed out there was more in the book about his kids and their lives. There were some sad parts and surprises here and there as always. It was a good read like I said, some of his other Cross Series books were alot better than this one but I would give this one 3 out of 5 stars! I just started Violets are Blue.
I would recommend fans of the Alex Cross series not miss this book. It was a little bit of let-down after the previous 5 (I'm just reading them all now). That is, it was a let-down right up until the final chapters. The story had all the unexpected twists and turns, in fact, MORE twists and turns that perhaps any of the other books.
I'm a huge fan of the Alex Cross series anyway, but this book really keeps the reader guessing. Great book.
Another really good Alex Cross novel. James Patterson knows how to develop a story and draw you in. In this book, Alex Cross is trying to find the people responsible for the killing of bank employees and their families. Why is it happening when the instructions of the killer are carried out to the letter? What's the motive...?? The Mastermind is behind them all and he needs to be in control. You won't want to put this one down!!
Toni T. (The whole Alex Cross series is great! They're always fast paced & keep me turning pages!
This was an okay book, but it was definately my least favorite of all the Alex Cross novels I have read. Hopefully, Violets are Blue will be better!
Detective Alex Cross pursues the most brillian killer he's ever confronted, who calls himself the Mastermind...
Very gripping book, I read it in 2 days! I just could not put it down! A MUST READ for any James Patterson fan!
