Title: A Just Terrible Book
Review: This book is not quite as bad as some of James Patterson's others (SEE HOW THEY RUN takes the cake), but it is pretty close. The characters are all paper thin, especially the gleefully psychotic serial killer(s) who provide the motive-less antagonists yet again. Alex Cross is back again, but is put out of commission about halfway through the book. As a matter of fact, this book is divided almost equally in half. The first half involves the serial killer Gary Soneji, the second involves a killer so silly that his entire existence can obviously be defined as "Plot Twist." Ultimately, you may read through this entire book in a relatively short amount of time. By the time it's over, like many of Patterson's other books, you'll be left wondering why.
