Receiving books as Christmas gifts is always my first choice. My blessed mother-in-law was “told” by someone in the family that “I, Alex Cross“  would make a great read for me.

Being a major James Patterson fan, I knew his latest work starring Morgan Freeman, whoa I mean Alex Cross would be a fantastic novel.

I have enjoyed Morgan Freeman as an actor since seeing him in The Shawshank  Redemption. This was not his first movie, but his ability to portray such a wide diversity
of characters is what I admire in him.

Reading any and all of the Alex Cross novels, Mr. Freeman voice takes over as I read in the first person.

Letting yourself be someone else adds to the excitement of a thriller. Does that make sense to you? As I’ve stated before, books are my way of escape! And if I can escape being a famous actor so be it!

WOW! After reading some reviews online about “I, Alex Cross“, a person would maybe not read or buy this new work!

Some said, “James has lost his touch”, “Terrible”, “perhaps James needs to retire”, “his writing too many books a year”, and “worth $.50.”

Folks, I am hear to tell you naysayers, YOU ARE NUTS!

“I, Alex Cross” has so many new elements I believe so many of you do not understand.

Alex really shows his family side! Alex show his love for family! Alex finally asks Bree to marry! Everyone needs a Nana.

Sure the always thrill of the hunt is there. The twists and turns. The FBI vs. MPD. The lone madman killer. His helpers.

I for one really enjoyed the Christmas present. Get it for yourself, you will not be disappointed!
