The book is so much better. The movie does not stay true to the story and though one of my favorite actors, Freeman is not Alex Cross.

James Patterson said, in his author master training course, if Hollywood comes knocking, take the money and run. The movie won't be the book. He doubts they even finish reading it. I agree with Diana. In Patterson's case, the book is always better.
Mark Perkins
Agreed, Terri Newman. Also, Morgan Freeman is pretty miscast as Alex Cross. Don't know what they were thinking there, other than that Mr. Freeman was starring in EVERYTHING at the time. He's a great actor, but was, even then, about 25 years too old for the character.

The book is WAY BETTER than the movie. You know how it goes when they make movies! they are never ever like the book!! James Patterson is an excellent writer. Please read the book, and also Kiss the Girls. The movie doesn't even give it justice. ENJOY!!!!

Kristina Smith
I agree with everyone! The book is FANTASTIC--one of my favorites! The movie changed so much that it's practically a different story altogether. One of the worst movie adaptations I've seen. The book is a thousand times better!
