Summary: Not as good as the others
Comment: I've been a fan of Patterson since the first Alex Cross book I read (Jack and Jill). I'm not a big fan of this genre, but his books are usually great. This one, however, was a bit of a disappointment. It seemed rushed, particularly in the last half of the book. Furthermore, alot of "TA-DA"s (for lack of a better word) that went without much explanation - just "and then this happened." The ending was just plain silly, if you ask me. I don't want to give any of it away (I hate it when people do that) but I never quite believed alot of what I was supposed to believe which made the "surprises" pretty unsurprising.
I also agree with a previous review regarding the "Oprah-esque" home life chapters. I barely skimmed through them. I know detectives have happy homes too, but this is a murder mystery. I didn't buy the book to hear about his fireside chats with Nana. I would not recommend this one, although the premise behind the villian(s) was truly intriguing. I give it 3 stars for the villan and his morbid game.

Summary: ANOTHER EXCELLENT NOVEL FROM PATTERSON!
Comment: I just can't get enough of James Patterson. I loved 'Along Came a Spider' and this was just as good.
Det Alex Cross is now after British Intelligence resident psycho Geoffrey Shafer, who loves playing computer games, but in real life. He hunts down women and kills them just so he can tell his fellow gameplayers that he is Death. The women that he selects are random and so Cross and his colleagues are finding it hard to piece this puzzle together. But the game suddenly turns personal for Cross and he must end it before there are dire consequences.
Thankfully, Patterson introduces us to the killer early into the story and so we can follow Shafer's warped mind and the cops that are trying to catch him. Patterson also takes this story over a couple of months, even years, which is different to the usual crime fiction, where even the most cunning and intelligent serial killers get caught within a couple of weeks of their horrific crime.
I highly recommend 'Pop Goes the Weasel' as each chapter is only a few pages long and you want to read just one more...

Summary: Pop Goes The Weasel
Comment: Pop Goes the Weasel was about Detective Alex Cross who is trying to solve a series of murders in Washington, D.C. The murderer is very skilled in covering up is tracks and it becomes very difficult for Cross to solve the case and convict the cold blooded murderer. When Alex Cross's girlfriend and family become endangered by this case, he becomes more determined to solve the murders. I enjoyed this book. It was the type of book that I found hard to put down. I thought that the book was fast paced, thrilling, and very intense. Patterson was very descriptive in decribing the setting and the actions or feelings of the characters. There were some negative aspects of the book however. First of all, right off the bat, you know exactly who the murderer was. There was no suspence in that. In addition, I thought the Patterson left no room for the reader to make their own conclusions. I think that this book is best for people who want to read a good murder/mystery book, rather than a well written novel.
