Really interesting novel about this guy who kind of rehabs himself.

You know, maybe if I read James Patterson books back-to-back, in order, I would get tired of them. Maybe I would get tired of Alex Cross racing against time, and shoot-outs, and him always winning. But I don't. I buy them, and end up reading one every four or five months, if that. This keeps them fresh. Reading them out of order makes them even more interesting. It's only natural that a story like this would have a lot of the human element to it. But to be honest, that's always my least favorite part of the Alex Cross series. The kids are adorable and Nanna Mama is sassy, but if we only saw them at the beginning and end, with casual mentions in the middle, I would like that better. But this story was fabulous. Finding out the backstory to Maria's death, and meeting the villain, who is a seriously sick ticket. I have to say, I learned something about myself listening to this audiobook. This was the first Patterson book I listened to on audiobook. When I talk about Patterson, I acknowledge that his books are very gory, but I like them anyway. This is a whole other subject when the rape/murder/dismemberment is being read aloud to me. WOW. It takes on a level of disturbing I didn't know existed before. I will give it up for whoever decided to give the villain a separate narrator from Alex Cross. Not only did this help differentiate POV throughout the audiobook, but on the final confrontation, hearing the two voices speak to each other made it SO much more intense. I prefer reading Patterson to listening, but I won't say I'll never listen to another of his audiobooks. I just need to steel my loins ahead of time.

Please choose a rainy day and read straight through. Cry. Repeat.
