I just completed another book in my James Patterson marathon. This one was in the ‘Alex Cross’ series–my favorite. This is the same series that the Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider movies came from. I have not seen these movies, but I’ve always found it odd that they had Morgan Freeman playing Alex Cross. When I’m reading these stories, I can’t picture anyone but his hotness, Denzel Washington, in the part. Particularly since the character is in his 40s. I can’t see how they could possibly have Morgan Freeman playing the part since Alex has two young children. I mean, Morgan Freeman is older than God (and has played Him well in one or two other movies). Perhaps they rewrote the part to work around his age. I guess I’ll find out if I ever watch them.
I really liked this book. Unfortunately, I have not read the Alex Cross books in order. So, when they introduced one of the characters, I said to myself, “wasn’t this the bad guy in the last novel I read?”. Turns out I was right, but it didn’t take away from the book at all.
A highly recommended read.
