Product Description

Review
'Patterson knows how to produce a readable and exciting thriller' The Sunday Times 'The authors sure-fire tactics have us turning those pages with ever-increasing speed' Good Book Guide

Product Description
Kathleen, from privileged Newport, Rhode Island; Colleen, from a poor Irish village – two teenagers who are both pregnant, and both in great danger.

A private detective named Anne Fitzgerald suddenly has the case of a lifetime – she quickly finds herself caught between the certainty of science and the possibility of a miracle which could stop the terrible medical epidemics now sweeping the globe. Once a nun and now a private detective with a Masters in psychology, Anne’s very belief in humanity is put to the ultimate test as she comes face to face with an unimaginable evil.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!! Intense, excellent book, 5 Jan 2008
By Mary C "NurseMare" (NJ, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Here's a book that has gotten a bumm rap here on Amazon from some other reviewers. I almost didn't read it because of the negative reviews. I'm so glad I ignored them and read it anyway. This ended up being one of the best books I've ever read.

I've read quite a bit of James Patterson -- this book is decidedly different from many that I've read. This is not the usual good guy vs. bad, evil, murderer guy. This is a story about two girls who are pregnant virgins -- one in the US and one in Ireland. It's confirmed that they are indeed "intact" and are virgins. Both are being watched by the Catholic church and it's investigators because it has been prophesied that one child will be the saviour of mankind while the other will be the child of the devil himself. Which is which? Both girls are sweet & endearing, both would seem to be the perfect picture of a virgin mother.

This book has the classic Patterson breathless suspense well populated with a good relationship story, peppered with a great good vs. evil plot. You grow to care about the characters and what happens to them. There is that classic Patterson twist in the story as well. Don't miss this incredible story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Reader from Cheshire, England, 16 Feb 2004
By A Customer
Cradle and All was the first Patterson Novel I have read. I could not put this book down, and was gripped from start to finish. There is a great twist at the end of the book and can't understand why anybody would give this book a poor review. I have read several other novels by Patterson since reading Cradle and All, and I am now a huge fan!

4.0 out of 5 stars A thinking person's page turner!, 15 Jun 2001
By A Customer
Obviously, this book will disappoint fans of Alex Cross because he isn't in it.

But get over the withdrawal symptoms in the meantime with this little cracker. After writing 'Violets are Blue', perhaps Mr. Patterson could hurry up and write the sequel to this religion-based mystery thriller.

The plot is fairly simple but with the usual sub-plots, excitement, diverse characters and enough twists to be a new pizza crust. Which 'virgin' is carrying the golden child of God, and which is about to bear the babe of Beelzebub?

I like Patterson's writing style because he creates books that you can read quickly. And you will devour the pages wanting to know which youngster is the next Mother of the Holy Child.

It will not take you long to read it, and it will be a worthwhile experience.

I didn't think the book was going to be as awful as it turned out to be, because the first few pages were alright. But, honestly, it was a pile of rubbish. Read more
