    Anyone read any of his books.. mostly he writes Crime/Thrillers!
    I have only read one "Pop goes the Weasle" and i must say its one of the best books i have read. He is a maste of suspense in that book so im wondering is that how he is in his other books too? I saw the film adaption of "Along came a spider" and thought the book would probably have been better...

    Yeah, I've read pretty much all of his books..

    Mostly up to the same standard, however, there are a couple of doozies.. If you stick with the Alex Cross books, you should be fine...

    He doesn't always stay within the confines of crime/thriller either..


    When the wind blows is more of science fiction/fantasy novel, Hide and Seek is pretty much popular fiction, and Cradle and all could only be described as horror (part of which is set in a rather strange version of Ireland!).

    As with all books, it's a matter of personal taste...
    Enjoy!

    BTW: Pseudo-Amazon blurb: People who enjoy James Patterson also enjoy Jeffery Deaver (who I think is streets ahead for that final twist in the tale!)

    Hope this helps!
