Horrifying
"Kiss the Girls" is written by the master of modern suspense novels, James Patterson. Alex Cross is a wonderful protagonist, a man of honor, and a down-right likable guy. In this book, he faces one of the most horrifying villains ever: a man who calls himself the "Casanova". The Casanova is a human monster, preying upon brilliant, beautiful, haughty college girls. After he kidnapps a girl, he brings her to his terrifying cave, filled with other women held captive. The graphic violence that occurs in this cave, especially the snake scene (which I strongly precaution fragile readers not to read), makes this novel pretty close to being categorized as horror, in my opinion. The Casanova is "twinning" with his sinister partner in crime, the "Gentleman Caller", a man who uses insane brutality on his women victims. The way James Patterson tells the story is like a fine work of art, the words blending so magnificently together to form a masterpiece among modern psychological thrilles. But, be precautioned, this book is quite disturbing, especially to parents who fear for their children. This book also teaches a good lesson about the power of karate.

His best- it will haunt you
Kiss The Girls was my favorite James Patterson novel! I read this book a few years ago and still vividly remember the haunting story of a saddistic killer...

This book got me hooked on Alex Cross, a detective I found very likable and whose life I became interested in. In this book his niece is one of the victims he's trying to save from an insane psychopath that is abducting girls. Alex is on a race against time to see if he can save her.

For those who say that the characters in this book are not believable, I totally disagree. And as for the plot, I read approximately 100 books a year, and only remember the full plot of very few, and this is one of them- That tells me the story is memorable. It might not be deep-thinking, Pulitzer prize worthy, but most crime thrillers are not, that's not why people read them, they're for entertainment value.

After reading this I picked up every Patterson book I could find...and I'm still a fan today- if that's not a recommendation for you, I don't know what is!

Shallow thriller
This is a thriller that reads like a cheap romance novel. The plot is simple and the characters are trite and unreal. After reading a Forsythe novel, this novel reads like a comic book.

The only reason I gave it two stars instead of one is that it is a mercifully fast read.
