Critics Review

  • If there were really superheroes, Alex Cross would be at the head of the class.

    NEW YORK TIMES
  • Cross is such a lovable hero . . . whose compassion warmly balances the icy cruelty of Patterson’s villains.

    PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
  • It’s no mystery why James Patterson is the world’s most popular thriller writer: his uncanny skill in creating living, breathing characters we truly feel for and seamless, lightning-fast plots. I do this for a living, and he still manages to keep me guessing from the first to last page … Simply put: Nobody does it better.

    JEFFERY DEAVER
  • Behind all the noise and the numbers, we shouldn’t forget that no one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent – which is what Jim has, in spades. The Alex Cross series proves it.
