Book Reviews of Kiss the Girls (Alex Cross, No. 2)

Book Review: Viscerally a very disturbing read
Summary: 5 Stars

Patterson has a way of keeping us on the edge of our seats; he makes us need to see that Casanova and the Gentleman Caller are not just in jail, but are dead. Anyone such as Casanova (or the Gentleman Caller), who would consciously use something that is so special to a woman as her beauty and her sexuality, and make her loath it and wish it were not, while saying that he loves her, is an unspeakably evil person who needs to physically, emotionally, and psychologically feel the psychological, emotional, and physical torment of his victims. That statement is a basic truth of our emotional need for justice, and the scenario in this book intensifies that need for justice: The way in which the scenario plays out is what elevates this book far above even the excellence with which it was written. The most horrifying part of this book may be what is implicit from the content of the book: That there are actually people out there like Casanova and his friend the Gentleman caller. Another creepy thing about this book is that it is indeed a book, which means that all the images that the book produces are produced by your own mind.

To love someone and to have them taken away from you is one of the most crushing things a person can endure. But to know that they are being kept against their will and repeatedly raped would be even more excruciating. This book succeeds in tapping that protective instinct that we all have. The fast pace of this book grabs hold of your emotions, but it is you that can't let them go. You won't want to put this one down.
