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.
