This book is no where near better than any of the others. I was actually sort of disappointed. This book was boring. No adrenaline, no much romance, although there are a few good scenes (cough, cough). Anyway the ending was nothing compared to the others. There was no action no learning anything it was all just boring. I'd advise you to read another book in the James Patterson series.

The book reads as fast as a movie except better. Patersons style of writing and the plot as usual makes this another "can't put down till your finished " novel

Detective Alex Cross and his partner John Sampson are relentless in their determination to uncover the identity of true killers of several solved gruesome murders that appeared to be open and shut cases but turn out to be anything but. Riddled in cover up, controversy and the grey wall of silence, these murders cases engulf Cross and Sampson as they persevere for answers to uncover the truth. Good Luck on putting this book down before it's finished!!

I'm a fan of Alex Cross (and Alex Delaware too by the way), so I'm pained to say that I should have listened to the warnings of others here about this book. Patterson is ripping us off here and it will be a long time before I buy another one of his books. Too bad... he used to be so good.

It took me a little over an hour to read this book which I'm sure is more time, effort and thought than Mr Patterson took in writing it. The publisher would have been better off binding a bunch of blank pages together as this would have been more interesting than the entire book.

I have NOT read Four Blind Mice.I have become so totally put off by James Patterson's lack of effort that reading his newest two page chapters full of poorly developed,thin,recycled drivel is a waste of time and a frustrating exercise.It's too bad,really, I used to love the Alex Cross series. I guess I matured as a reader faster than Patterson has as a writer.

I have been a HUGE fan of James Patterson for quite some time now, but I have to say he is losing his touch. Four Blind Mice is predictable, and some of the dialogue is laughable, (not in a good way). It seems he could do so much more with the character of Alex Cross - but that he rushed everything just to finish the book on time. Hopefully the next will be an improvement.
