Some stand out issues for me:
(1) The murders were too gruesome and violent - completely out of character for Patterson's writing style. The detail given was beyond what seemed necessary.
(2) We saw a completely different side of the main chacter, Alex Cross. He seemed to have lost his common sense in this book. His decisions constantly put those around him in harms way. His decision to fly off to Africa to pursue a killer in a foreign country with absolutely no government assistance seemed downright ridiculous.
(3) The entire plot of the book of completely unbelievable.]]>
