Along Came A Spider James Patterson

My friend told me if I were to read any James Patterson book, it should be "Along Came A Spider" and since I really liked "Mary Mary" I decided to try this one. I think because this book came before the other book, Patterson mentions much more descriptiong of Cross and the other characters. It completly changed the way I imagined Cross in my head. Its like when you read a book before the movie comes out and the actor they cast it completly different than how you pictures, except I had justed missed the vital details Patterson lets on. Like that Cross is over 6 feet tall, a characteristic thats hard not to imclude when I picture him now. I also came to the realization that the 'grandma' that lives with Alex isn't his kinds grandma, his mother, but his actual grandma. I often reread books because there the little things that people tend to scan over and things just make so much more sence when the whole picture is finally put together.
