"If something isn't aesthetically pleasing or interesting, doesn't require skills I do not have, and makes a stupid point stupidly, I don't appreciate it as art. That doesn't make me a philistine. It makes me a non-rube."

The One with Double Cross

88. Title & Author: Double Cross by James Patterson (420 pages)*
Genre: Fiction--Thriller
Completed: 12 April 2009

Summary & Review:
What's better than having one psychotic killer after you? Having two! In Dectective Alex Cross' latest adventure, he tracks down the "Audience Killer" whose penchant for gruesome public killings leaves the Washington D.C. area trembling as another killer from Cross' past, Kyle Craig, escapes from prison and comes looking for revenge.

I am still very mixed about Patterson. Every time I read one of his books I am constantly distracted by how short the chapters are. It feels like a rip off. Oh well, at least he can come up with pretty good villains. 

Rating: 7.0
