DAILY MAIL
An incredibly suspenseful read with a one-of-a-kind villain who is as terrifying as he is intriguing. One of the best thrillers of the year.
I wrote, "<i>Along Came a Spider</i> is the best thriller I've come across in many a year. It deserves to be this season's no. 1 bestseller and should instantly make James Patterson a household name." A household name, indeed.
Terror and suspense that grab the reader and won't let go. Just try running away from this one.
[Alex Cross] has become one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time, a character for the ages.
- DOUGLAS PRESTON and LINCOLN CHILD,
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 <i>Alex Cross</i> series proves it.
- LEE CHILD, international bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series,
Alex Cross is a legend.
- HARLAN COBEN,
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,
Every once in a while a writer comes along and fundamentally changes the way people read. He or she is so bright, so innovative, so industrious that what they envision and create becomes the measure by which all others are judged. In 1993 one such writer - James Patterson - began to do just that ... James Patterson is the gold standard by which all others are judged.
- STEVE BERRY, bestselling author of the Colton Malone series,
Patterson boils a scene down to the single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It's what fires off the movie projector in the reader's mind.
- MICHAEL CONNELLY,
James Patterson is The Boss. End of.
- IAN RANKIN, bestselling author of the Inspector Rebus series,
Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... there's no stopping his imagination.
Patterson is in a class by himself.
