Critics Review

  • Fine, full-blooded entertainment from start to finish.

    Publishers Weekly
  • Captivating . . . As always, Patterson provides a fast-paced thriller full of surprising but realistic plot twists . . . Cross is one of the best and most likable characters in the modern thriller genre.

    San Francisco Examiner
  • 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
  • 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 Alex Cross series proves it.

    LEE CHILD, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series
  • Twenty years ago, I wrote, “Along Came a Spider 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.
