Amazon.com Review
That monstrous villain Gary Soneji is back in Cat & Mouse, the fourth book in James Patterson's series about Alex Cross, a police forensic psychologist, but he's not alone. In seeming support of the premise that you can never have too much of a bad thing, Patterson has thrown a second serial killer into the mix: Mr. Smith, a mysterious killer terrorizing Europe while Soneji practices his own brand of evil along the Eastern Seaboard. With two killers to track, Cross has his hands full--and Patterson has another hit.
Product Description
Alex Cross is back in a novel with a cast of characters more sinister and deadlier than ever. Gary Soneji, a dying prison escapee, is looking for revenge on Cross, while another insane killer is pursued by Thomas Augustine Pierce--a brilliant and relentless detective who may even be better than Cross. As the bodies pile up, and Cross is nearly murdered in his own home, the game of cat and mouse leads to one final trap, and it's anyone's guess who will survive.

 Huh? August 31, 2010
S. Pennington (DEER PARK, TEXAS United States)
NOTE: This review in no way diminishes my love of Patterson's Alex Cross series or his relaxed style of writing. In fact, I started a new Patterson novel last night. That said, I must add that I found Cat and Mouse confusing with Patterson alternating between two equally repulsive antagonists: the vile Gary Soneji in the U.S. and the dastardly Mr. Smith in Europe. The killings in this novel were so brutal they seemed almost gratuitous, shocking the reader for the sake of...well...shocking the reader. And I didn't buy the reasoning behind the murders. Finally, the two stories melded but not to my satisfaction. Abrupt switches in point of view were also jarring. Found myself going "huh?" as I read. I appreciated the romantic development between Alex Cross and Christine Johnson, which will carry over into the next novel - at least - but my gut says the relationship will not end in happily ever after. Enjoyed the continued warmth and familiarity between Cross and his family. Hated giving another of Patterson's novels 3 stars, but that's the best I could do for this one.
 Poor recording, but an exciting story August 28, 2010
Melissa B. Owens (Canton, GA)
I have not read many of Patterson's Alex Cross novels, but those that I have read so far have generally been exciting and suspenseful. Cat & Mouse was no exception. As always, I can live without the sex that Patterson inevitably includes but without a doubt he knows how to write a thriller that will keep you on your toes. One downside to this audiobook was that the quality of the recording was not that great--there are two readers and they were obviously recorded in different conditions; the two recordings just did not seem to blend together very well.
Overall, while the poor recording quality was distracting, I did enjoy this book and look forward to listening to more Patterson novels soon. His books, with their short chapters, really do work well for my commutes.
Good Book April 9, 2010

My son was very happy with the book I ordered and I was happy with service I received.
A page turner I got tired of. February 26, 2010

It was a page turner, as are all of Patterson's books, but I can't say I really enjoyed it. There was a strange twist in the middle, but that seemed a little contrived. I have one more Patterson book on my "to read" shelf. After that, I think I'm going to another author for awhile for my mystery/adventure stuff. I will stick with Patterson's graphic novels. Check this out: Maximum Ride: The Manga, Vol. 1
Cat & Mouse for Kindle December 29, 2009
NovaniK (Herndon, VA)
This was my first book back in the 'Alex Cross universe' in over a year. It was also my very first complete read on the Kindle. With regards to the Kindle version, there were typos. Words were just flat out wrong, looked was used in place of locked, etc. It was only ever one word so it wasn't too distracting but it was still a little jarring to get in to a rhythm of reading and then stumble upon one of these typos.
Aside from the imperfections in the Kindle version, I thought this was a very good book. James Patterson keeps you interested cover to cover. He has a writing style that I love, consisting of a lot of very small chapters. Which is great for people who might just want to grab the book to read for a few minutes. It gives you a natural stopping place.
I would recommend this book to a friend, but would advise them to start at the beginning of the Alex Cross series (Along Came a Spider) so they are up to date on the back story.
