Short punchy chapters, laden with action, suspense and red herrings are tell-tale signs that this is a James Patterson book. This time Alex Cross finds himself pitting his wits against two sexual predators and Kiss The Girls won't disappoint fans of the first Alex Cross novel. There are plenty of twists to keep the pace up although the finale seems somewhat tacked on, almost as if proof readers suggested a tidier ending. The characterisation is rather flat, Patterson spending most of his time with the thrills rather than the frills. A recommended fast-paced crime read. ( )

Best psychological thriller I've read yet. Captivating characters, wonderful storytelling, and a twisted plot. Would read again and urge others to read. ( )

This book is about two serial killers communicating with each other about their victims. Its an interesting and disturbing idea. This is the second Alex Cross book and is much better than later offerings. ( )

I could not put this book down! It was very well told, and although Alex Cross is the main character, I loved how the story moved around the killers and the women as well. I also like the one-line surprises in between, like when Cross visits Kate the second time she's in the hospital, he lets you know Casanova is someone related to the police because she was just in the hospital room with Kate without anyone freaking out about it. I don't know how I feel about the last 2-3 chapters because the ending seemed to stretch out a little more than it should, but it was a very exciting, creepy journey. ( )
