It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular
thriller writer: his uncanny skill in creating living, breathing
characters we truly feel for and seamless, lightning-fast plots. I
do this for a living, and he still manages to keep me guessing from
the first to last page ... Simply put: Nobody does it better --

Behind all the noise and the numbers, we shouldn't forget that no
one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent -
which is what Jim has, in spades. The Alex Cross series

Twenty years ago, I wrote, "Along Came a Spider is the best
thriller I've come across in many a year. It deserves to be this
season's no. 1 bestseller and should instantly make James Patterson
a household name." A household name, indeed. -- NELSON DEMILLE
Every once in a while a writer comes along and fundamentally
changes the way people read. He or she is so bright, so innovative,
so industrious that what they envision and create becomes the
measure by which all others are judged. In 1993 one such writer -
James Patterson - began to do just that ... James Patterson is the
gold standard by which all others are judged. -- STEVE BERRY,
bestselling author of the Colton Malone series
[Alex Cross] has become one of the greatest fictional detectives of
all time, a character for the ages. -- DOUGLAS PRESTON and LINCOLN

Patterson boils a scene down to the single, telling detail, the
element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It's what
fires off the movie projector in the reader's mind. -- MICHAEL
CONNELLY
Patterson hit the ball out of the park with his last go-around, the
