Wanted to love it but only liked it (a little)....
I was excited to read "Cross," as I had read two of James Patterson's earlier works, and enjoyed them both. However, I was pretty disappointed with this one. While I thought the book was faced-paced and the plot moved quickly with all the action (murder, rape, murder, rape, murder, rape, etc.), I found the writing quite bad and even laughable at times. I also felt there were a number of details that were never explained, such as where his youngest child came from? Perhaps I would know that from reading his other works, although if one were to pick up this book as I did without knowing the main character, such details should not be overlooked. Overall, even though I did enjoy certain aspects of this book, I have a hard time recommending it. If you're a fan of serial-killer, suspense-type, action novels, you may enjoy this one, although you will have to look past the writing style a bit to really enjoy it.
