Gripping Thriller (0/0 people found this helpful)
This book was fabulous. Really gripped from the start and totally unputdownable. I read this in two sittings. Didnt guess the ending at all. Gruesome in parts but necessary for the plot. I havent seen the movie so had no idea what twists and turns were in store, and there were many. I have read many of James Patterson's book and so read this one rather late on, but by far the best I feel. Was sorry to come to the last page.

This Alex Cross novel has been made into the second feature film so far, starring the excellent Morgan Freeman.
The story brings a pair of competing serial killers together, pursued by Cross, who's own neice has been kidnapped from her university campus.
Fast moving and thoroughly gripping story.
An exciting read! (2/2 people found this helpful)
'Kiss The Girls' was the first novel I read by James Patterson and I loved it. It is gripping and exciting to read - a real page turner. As one or two of the other readers picked up on, it is very gruesome - it is a serious and intense story. If you dislike violence and gore then this book isn't for you, however you needn't be a horror/gory addict to enjoy the tale.
Detective Alex Cross is particularly wired during this investigation as his much loved niece is a victim - a masked man calling himself Casanova is kidnapping girls (only the best, most special - beautiful and talented girls) and keeping them locked up in a secret place. Casanova uses his strength and power to keep them there and he can (and does) do excatly as wishes with them. However, a pattern is emerging - if the girls don't comply to his rules - they are brutally murdered and left for the police to find.
This is a gripping 'can't put downable' read - but it isn't for the light hearted! There is also a film adapted from the novel. Personally, I think the film is ok, I did enjoy it but the novel is a lot more thrilling and entertaining.
Just not believable (1/6 people found this helpful)
If you want a storyline you can believe in try something else! You can drive a bus through most of the plot development. It's strange that the US authorities leave investigation of multiple murder and rape on East and West coasts largely to one man and a victim. Wooden characters, wooden plot - you can find better!

JP has done it again- another mind blowing thiller, with twists and turns to the last. It's impossible to put down and will leave you wanting more. Read this book!!
