Excellent Storytelling
The last book I read, Along Came A Spider, was definitely one of my favorites. It was one of those stories where I could not drop the book; I was hooked. I believe James Patterson elicited excellent story telling in this book. The plot of the book takes time to start but once it does, it does not slow down. This book is definitely a thriller that has many twists and mind games. I see that as a plus in a book because, like in a movie, the audience loves it when the author pulls a twist on them. Another reason this book has great story telling is that the book contains an array of colorful characters. From the main protagonist, Alex Cross, to the psychopath antagonist, Soneji, the author definitely did a great job of hooking the reader with characters that entertain.

Moises--I've read a couple of books in that series, and I agree that they are very suspenseful (and scary and entertaining). Is Alex the forensic psychiatrist, or am I thinking of one of Patterson's other characters? Anyway, thanks for a good first entry. You might have included a brief passage, but you did explain the attraction of the book.
