Relation In Favor Of Books Cat and Mouse (Alex Cross #4)
Alex Cross is back-and so is a raging and suicidal Gary Soneji. Out of prison and dying from the AIDS virus he contracted there, he will get revenge on Cross before he dies. In addition, we are introduced to a new pair of rivals whose paths cross that of Alex and Soneji. Thomas Augustine Pierce has been chasing his demon, Mr. Smith, since the savage murder of his fiancee. Mr. Smith is a unique monster, with actions toward his victims so insane-so unimaginable-that he is thought of as "not of the earth." Pierce, known in the business as St. Augustine because of his track record for catching killers and his invaluable status to the FBI and Interpol, may even be better than Cross.When things heat up and Alex is in a near-death coma following an attack in his own home, Pierce goes to Washington to help with the investigation. But just as he begins to piece together the mystery of how Gary Soneji could have mortally wounded Cross after he was believed to be dead, he is summoned to Paris with a postcard from Mr. Smith inviting him to a very special killing.The body count is high, the tension the highest, and the two killers on the loose are watching every move their pursuers make. Who is the cat, and who is the mouse? What and where is the final trap? And who survives?

I usually find James Patterson a bit ho hum but there is nothing ho hum about Cat and Mouse. Alex is, once again, faced with two psychopaths but this time round they are both masters of the macabre. The violence held within is pretty graphic so let your watch word be "take care".The things the alpha villain, Mr Smith, does are particularly gross. Who'd want to be a medical examiner? Not me. There really is a lot going on so there is no time get bored let alone make a cup of coffee. This timeThis book is perfect for someone looking for a completely predictable, awfully written, over played detective story. Patterson's writing style in "Cat and Mouse" is hideous. He constantly is switching from the first person views of one character to another, leaving the reader still trying to find the meaning in the pointless two page chapter before it. Not to mention Patterson divides the book into two sections, that are not even relatable. Halfway through the book, Patterson switches from the
This book is so hard to describe. I can only say it is like the hot girl who will talk to you, but she has horrible breath. You can't help but stick around, and hey, she's talking to you which is a bonus, but in the end, you just can't get around the fact that you know kissing her would be like licking a public toilet.So what you might ask is so likeable about the book?The story is awesome and Patterson can write a thriller like no one else. The story segments are great. It is the big picture
Call me crazy but this is my favorite Alex Cross book thus far. This is the fourth in the series. I've already read the first three (all of which I enjoyed) but there was something about this one that just grabbed me right from the beginning.I just love how Patterson weaves a tale. And, as much as I joke with my friends about his short chapters, I find them refreshing after some of the heavier things I've read this past summer. No more saying to myself, "I'll read one more chapter before I go to
I like this series. It keeps me guessing what is going to happen. I did read some of the later books in the series, so some things were spoiled for me, but I still enjoyed getting to the end and finding out how everything happened. I was pretty confused though. I read the book and listened to the audio and there was some MAJOR differences. Especially at the end DO NOT READ THIS IS YOU DONT WANT TO BE SPOILED in the Audio his girlfriend gets taken and it ends with her in the Bahamas missing and
I'm not a thriller reader, so for the first few chapters I was like, "I don't know if I can deal with the style here." It's so compressed. I felt like the writer was going, "Come on, come on, you're too slow." Which, trust me, is not a reaction I normally have with the pace of a book. I felt lost. But a few chapters later - I was into the rhythm of it, and the action of it snapped into place. I could have used more suspense - but it felt like events that I should worry about were there and gone
And this is why I continue to read James Patterson's books - this one was excellent. Alex Cross is at his masterful best chasing and catching the the bad guys and in this case they are really, really bad! A twist at the end ensures I have to chase up and read the next book in the series very soon.
