Book Review: Cradle and All by James Patterson

I read this pretty quickly over three days and it kept moving nicely and the prose is in the Patterson style. I have been reading some of his earlier novels recently and these have not really been page turners at all and quite difficult to read. Cradle and All is easy to read and the pages keep turning.

However the subject matter was a different subject for me altogether. I have read all of the Alex Cross novels and a lot of Patterson's novels are of this genre. However, Cradle and All is based on the concept of the virgin birth and deals with matters within the catholic church. For me it was all a bit far fetched and not to my taste at all.

I am now going to get on wtih the Beach House by James Patterson and hopefully this will be a return to his crime thrillers coupled with his storytelling techniques.

For this novel only 6/10 due to the subject matter for me.
