Summary: one blind editor
Comment: **spoilers**
"Four Blind Mice" by James Patterson -- who usually writes engaging mystery thrillers -- is an inferior offering that suffers from an exceedingly contrived plot and numerous storytelling errors. His editor should have shelved the entire book or, at least, done a better job of proofreading.
The novel is about a group of Vietnam veterans whose war experiences turned them into sadistic, callous killers. This commonplace stereotype is undermined because they mananaged (apparently) to control their murderous impulses for thirty years until the events of the novel begin. Then they set killing other vets by framing them for murder which results in death sentences. Eventually their nefarious deeds are uncovered by Alex Cross, Patterson's earstwhile protaganist.
The novel is full of plot and narrative errors. For example, at one point a cop is killed (for no real plot purpose), but apparently his body is never found and no one ever looks for him because that's the last it's mentioned. Similarly, while the murderers had video taped all their crimes, after they're caught there's no mention of these recordings. It's as though they never existed.
At numerous time the characters repeat dialog and information.
If Patterson really wanted to write a story about Vietnam vets and (I guess) the perils of capital punishment, I wish his editor had made him get the details right.

Summary: Four Blind Mice - Four Stars
Comment: This book has everything...action, adventure, romance and suspense. It shows an even more emotional side of Alex Cross when his Nana turns ill and his feelings deepen for Jamilla. I also really enjoyed seeing the emotional side of Sampson. What a thrill this book was! I read it in 2 days.
Rating: 5
Summary: Entertaining
Comment: Not Gripping
Not from the pen of a Brilliant mind
Not Perfect
But an intresting read - and one that doesn't give it's endings away 1/2 the way through - You cannot see what's going to happen
Unpredictable - Thats a good thing for a book to be
Unfortunatly a bit slow to start off with, his love intrest just annoyed me, and I think was used to fill up pages
but A good book - non the less
