Reviews

  • It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer ... Simply put: Nobody does it better.

    JEFFREY DEAVER

  • 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 proves it

    LEE CHILD, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series

  • James Patterson is The Boss. End of.

    IAN RANKIN, bestselling author of the Inspector Rebus series

  • 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

  • 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 CHILD

  • Alex Cross is a legend.

    HARLAN COBEN

  • 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 knows where our deepest fears are buried... there's no stopping his imagination.

    NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

  • Patterson is in a class by himself.
