Alex Cross of Kiss The Girls fame returns having been recruited to the FBI. HE is tracking the disappearances of women accross the country that may have been sold into slavery. But he remians several steps behind a master fiend known as the wolf. This is a fair but not remarkable or remarkably compelling novel.

Normally, I'm a big James Patterson fan and I love Alex Cross. However, this book didn't grab me and keep me wanting to turn the pages like most of Patterson's novels. Grant it, I realize it was written in 2003 and I'm a little behind with reading Patterson's novels, but this one I have to say is jst average. I thought the plot was a little far-fetched, but at the end it got a little better. It's hard to imagine persons and events such as plotted in this book could actually happen, but then again we all know it's a crazy world we live in and, I guess, big bad wolves do exist.
I picked this book up (used)in a book store, so I got it at a decent price. I'll just add it to my collection and if anyone asks, it's an average read. Not the best, but by far...not the worst.

At first when I pickup the book was because I want to find the types of brooks that James Patterson write, I the fist two pages and I like the book, then I did some research about the character of the wolf on other books in which refer it as a killer with out scruples. This book is more about Alex Cross and how he is making the transition from the Washington DC police in to the FBI and how he get involve with the biggest case of his career at the same time he try to keep his family tougher, but the trill did no finish; looks like the wolf will be came back on the future in other book.

James Patterson has written what I feel to be one of his best books yet. I really enjoyed Big Bad Wolf, Patterson takes you through many twists and turns though the book and it doesnt end how you think it will. A look into the mafia underground that needs to be read to believe

A very good book by James Patterso, although not one of my favourite novels. I didn't find this one as good as some of the other books he's written, but it is definitely a good read and if you have alot of his novels, then you just have to own this one too!
