 suspence
I find that the novels which has Alex Cross in them are more enjoyable. This novel is a little slow for me.

A good read, a current interest for 2008 ( a_customer_from_plano )
This book was 1st copyrighted in 1986, but now in 2008 it is even more believable as we see the government giving 700 billion dollars to Wall Street over the objections of the voting public (October 4, 2008, a day of infamy). We see now that the premise in this book of a secret government is not total fantasy.
I found the story entertaining and and easy read. Most of the complaints against this book seem to be from fans of Patterson who feel he stepped out of his normal formula. Well, I'm not a regular reader of Patterson, so I was just looking for an entertaining read and I found that as well as an insightful reminder that Wall Street rules America.

 Not very interesting ( champmj )
I must agree with many of the other reviews. I could not finish this book either. It certainly showed its age and was very far fetched. His later work is much better. I guess we all have off days.

It doesn't get any worse ( hippobooks )
The only reason I finished reading this book was to see if it continued to get worse and worse: it did. This is the most badly written book with the most improbable story I've ever read. The plot is unbelievable, rather like an old Saturday morning Buck Rogers serial. The hero is nearly killed half a dozen times, but if you think that slows him down one iota, you're disillusioned. If this had been the first James Patterson book I had read, it would have been the last. In fact, it still may be. Do yourself a favor. Find another book.
