| Book #18 Book Title: Along Came a Spider Author: James PattersonGenre: fiction; mystery/thriller# of pages: 449My rating of the book, F- [worst] to A [best].: AShort description/summary of the book: (taken from amazon.com): Alex Cross, a black Washington, D.C., police detective with a Ph.D. in psychology, and Jezzie Flanagan, a white motorcycling Secret Service agent, become lovers as they work together to apprehend a chilling psychopath who has kidnapped two children from a posh private school. The psychotic villain, who aspires to become more notorious than Lindbergh baby kidnapper Bruno Hauptmann, is effectively nightmarish. Atypical characters, sex, sometimes shocking violence, and several surprising plot twists are all attention-grabbing, while short chapters with a shifting viewpoint add brisk pacing and genuine suspense.My Thoughts: Wow, it looks like this is going to be another Patterson series that I am going to be addicted to! The story and plot twist was great (even though I had figured part of it out beforehand.) If you like Patterson and/or great crime thrillers, then I'd DEFINITELY recommend this book18 / 50 books. 36% done!Next read(s): I'm not sure yet.X-posted to my book community, bookz_n_07 and a whole lot of other places! ;PTags:along came a spider, books, grade a books, james pattersonLocation:workMood:hot Top of Page | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
