My Bookish Life Book Review: Along Came A Spider

Title: Along Came A Spider
Author: James Patterson
Pages: 502
Genre: Fiction 
Rating: 3.5

       Synopsis: A missing little girl named Maggie Rose  ... A family brutally murdered in the projects of Washington,  D.C. ... the thrill killing of an elementary school teacher ... A psychotic serial kidnapper/murderer who is so terrifying that even the FBI, Secret Service, and the police can't outsmart him- even after he has been captured .

    My thoughts on the book: I thought it was alright.  Some parts were really intense which I liked. It could be a little scary at some points too.

       Gary Murphy/Soneji is one the creepiest book characters I have read about recently.  The twist with him is very interesting and I didn't see that one coming.  He is certainly a crazy frightening character. 

        I also liked Alex Cross. He seemed pretty realistically written to me. It does seem like he could make an interesting character to do a series about. 

       One of the faults I had with the book was that I wish some of the other characters were more developed.  I know there is only so much development you can give back ground characters in a book but some of these characters kinda blended together in my mind. Since they are just background characters though that's ok and it doesn't massively hurt the story.

        I loved the ending! When I got towards the end of the book the story started getting so intense. During that part I didn't want to put the book down. The ending was totally unexpected and I never seen it coming.

           Rating wise I'm giving this book a 3.5 because it's really good but it isn't one of my best recent reads. I did really like it though because it has some really good parts. However,  this book is just kinda in the middle for me ratings wise.


            Blog Update:
     If possible I will be back with you guys tonight to post my April reading wrap up and May TBR. So be on the look out for those. I have also been working on some art stuff I'm going to post on the blog soon.

       That's it for this update. If you have read Along Came A Spider please leave your thoughts in the comments. Also if you like my content please give my blog a follow. That's it for now hope you all have a nice day talk to you all later.
