This was the first James Patterson that I have read and if all his book are anything like this one give me more! It was the first book in a long time that I just didn't want to put down. He describes everything in such a way that it actually makes you think that it is all happening in real life. I only wish I had read Along came a spider first. SUPERB!!!

Format:Mass Market Paperback
James Patterson surpases himself in this brilliantly constructed, chilling and exciting book. His use of language paints a picture of the killers and the world they live in that is almost too vivid to read. As you read the characters become so real you'll start to double check the locks before you go to bed and you almost expect to hear about it on the news.The plot while terrifying, is so deep and well assembled and well paced it will keep you reading for hours at a time, gripped in the tension he has created. I found myself screaming out loud at the scariest points. James Patterson is a master craftsman of this genre and and even the die hard sleuths will have trouble guessing the identity of the killers in this story! Kiss the Girls is one of the most exhilarating books I've ever read and it's a must for anyone who is into crime/mystery books, it's one of the best.

After reading Patterson's first Alex Cross novel, "Along came a Spider", I couldn't help but wonder "How on earth is he going to top that?". With "Kiss the Girls", he has not only topped it, he has well and truely excelled himself. Kiss the Girls is a fantastic follow up to "Along came a Spider" and I can't wait to see what Mr. Patterson delights us with next. More Alex Cross please.
