Customer Reviews

Disappointing and Confusing
I am big fan of James Pattersons books and the Alex Cross books are usually my favourite holiday reading matter as they are easily and quickly read round the poolside. However, found the ending to this book a real anti-climax.I am not easily confused but could someone please explain why earlier on in the book the wolf is actually named then, (without wanting to ruin the story line)we find out the wolf is someone else, resulting in the next book - London Bridges.

Where's the Rest of it????
As with all Patterson books once you have started you find it incredibly difficult to put it down, I really enjoy Alex Cross and the 'big bad wolf was no exception' but really 'James' where is the rest of it, there is a new book not yet published Im wondering is this the sequal, I really need to know what happens to little Alex and who is the Wolf, in true Patterson fashion he's keeping us hanging but not only to the last page Im disapointed that I have to wait for another book to get to the climax. You'll enjoy it but it will really leave you wanting more!!!

The Big Bad Wolf INDEED
I have read almost all of the Alex Cross novels by JP and i love every single one, but this one takes the cake. JP is one of the most talented writers i have ever had the pleasure of reading, i work in a bookshop and i read alot of books by all kinds of authors but JP is a master at getting inside your head you really do feel like you are part of the action, if only i could meet JP and just tell him how talented he is! Well done mate
