Review 1: Cross Country Audiobook by Frank Mills

Alex Cross really catches the Tiger by the toe

James Patterson truly out does himself in this Alex Cross adventure. He takes our most nightmarish fears of international crimes and espionage, and brings it home to us in this tale of true crime war between the good and evil.
I was left energized by Cross’s constant will to fight for justice from out nation’s Capitol to darkest Africa, driven and fueled by blood thirsty mercenaries, corrupt industry and government agencies, and human greed. And, I was deeply humbled by what is actually the inconvenient truth about the still ongoing hellish brutality happening in Africa; but not here.
James Patterson is a truly exceptional writer and story teller.
If there was a mystery writer that has inspired me write crime novels? It would James Patterson.
Five stars all around. And, two thumbs up.

Review 2: Cross Country Audiobook by John Holm

I read many of the one star reviews and almost did not get this book. I decided to buy the book and I gave it 5 stars. Many of the 1 star reviews stated that it was far fetched and too gruesome and bloody. I think these reviews were done with ignorance to what is really happening in the world. James Patterson researches his books and I have found to be quite accurate. The people who say this is far fetched need to read some history about Africa. Read “Shake Hands with the Devil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda” it was written by Roméo Dallaire who was the General for the UN who was in Rwanda. He is Canadian and is the highest Ranking officer in the world to suffer Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I challenge the people who ranked this as a 1 star to read the book I just listed and then tell us how far fetched “Cross Country” was.

Review 3: Cross Country Audiobook by ktollstam

This series has been largely apolitical, except for the usual “the boss is a moron theme,” but I could detect a political statement about the conditions in Africa and the evil CIA. One doesn’t read these books for realism and this book is as unrealistic as they get. There is brutality galore, and Alex is as stubborn, fearless and you might say bone headed as usual. While the story line is compelling the miracles that keep Alex alive get more and more stretched as the book goes on. I have actually been to Lagos, Nigeria albeit a long time ago, and found it to be very dangerous, but not the hell hole that is described here. As I am working my way through the series, I have to resist the temptation to overthink the plots and incredible events that actually make up an enjoyable, quick read.
