Cross Country
By James Patterson
Our Shelf Talker
I wanted to delve into mysteries a bit after some of Roxanne’s recent recommendations. I was able to find a book that Patterson had written himself, not farmed out, and the title refers to one of his main characters Alex Cross. While this was a diverting read, the appeal scares me. There was gore on every page and it seems that Cross gets beaten up and always comes back for more. I recognize how popular Patterson is with both men and women readers but I worry about the quality of the writing.- Lee from the Faith Middleton Show
