I really enjoyed this, even though I had already seen the film which although it is different to the book, gives away major aspects of the plot! I'm looking forward to reading more Alex Cross novels. (  )riverwillow | Jun 10, 2009 |   i ALMOST put this book into my rejections pages, but something egged me on for the next two chapters. patterson knows his storytelling art, but as a writer he falls short. He is often described as the Jacquelyn Suzzanne of detective novels and I can relate to that. His simplistic, short chapter, often changting of the point of view, all contribute to hope for me making it BIG someday. As I said, his storyhtelling is ecellent and the page-turner is always one for me (unless i am in chronic depression). ( )andyray | Jun 1, 2009 | This book was recommended to me by my mother. It was the first James Patterson book I ever read and this was the one that made me become a fan of the Alex Cross series. ( )r0ckcandy | Apr 9, 2009 | I finally made myself sit down for a couple hours and finish the last 250 pages or so. I’m glad I did. Along Came A Spider was really good in the fact that the plot was creative and unique, and it was fresh. The book was bad in… every other fact. I’m sorry to say that...

This was my first James Patterson novel, if I hadn't bought Kiss the Girls when I bought this, I probably wouldn't have bought any other work by JP, simply because I was unimpressed. I read Kiss the Girls after I read ACAS and the difference was astounding. This is DEFINITELY not the book to judge JP by. 2 out of 5 actors that don't match the book villain's description.
