Book 13 of 52 James Patterson's Step on a Crack

So... one of the most famous and prolific writers in the world is James Patterson and he puts out about 5 books a year. This is his first book for 2007, and he introduces a new character. A completely over the top character in a police detective/hostage negotiator from New York City.



Not over the top enough for you?

Ok... he and his wife have ten kids that they have adopted.

Not over the top enough for you yet?

His wife has cancer throughout the whole book and is on a countdown for when she will probably die.

It's an outrageous book about a group of people who take over St. Patrick's Cathedral to get money... yeah... I know.. it's been done before and done better by Nelson DeMille in Cathedral, but what the heck... it was a good simplistic read.

It serves it purpose... and the escape from St. Patrick's is stunningly amazing and I would love to see it done on film.
