 "Cradle and All" is a great restoration of "Virgin" |

| It's been a couple years since I read "Virgin", and I was pleased to learn that it was being republished as "Cradle And All". Patterson did a great job of remodelling this story. It was just as suspenseful as the first time I read it. I was fortunate to receive an Advance Proof and I can tell you that this story still is chilling. For those who never read "Virgin", the story is about two virgins, one a 16 year old girl from Newport, RI. The other girl, 14 years old, from an Irish Village, and they're both pregnant. One is to give birth to the Messiah, the other to Satan. No one knows which is the true virgin. This story is as chilling as any other Patterson novel, if not more. You won't finish the book disappointed. |
Great Book!!!! Should be republished.

| This book is one of James Patterson's best books and I think that it should be republished. I love James Patterson's novels and this one is so hard to put down and is surprising til the end. I own all of Patterson's books, including this one. I happened upon it in a second hand store and grabbed it recognizing the titles right away. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys James Patterson. |
The best of them all!!!!

| This had to be one of the best book's James Patterson has writen. Hey if you love the Alex Cross charater, then you might not like this book. I like it on that fact! Yes, this book isn't the "brick" size of "When the wind blows" or "Cat and mouse", but even though, it is a smaller size book, it really is good. Also, the fact that this book is one of the hardest book's to find, ANYWHERE, also makes it mysterious. Virgin really is worth of 5 out o 5 stars!! Also, i read ealier in the year that they were going to re-copy it, and make more cpoies of it, then they comeout with "Craddle and All". Boo. I was surprised that Alex Cross wasn't in it. But if you liked Thomas Berryman Number, then you will like Virgin! TRUST ME! |
A Great Read

Virgin
Although somewhat of a departure for Patterson fans this is one of the more intriguing books I have read in awhile. The plot is simple for someone not of a Catholic background but a complicated one for those with an understanding of the the workings of the church. As always Patterson did his homework on this one. |
Another Patterson novel worth reading

| "Virgin" is a really good book, very hard to put down once you've started since you quickly develop attachment to the characters in the book. Though not as long or detailed as James Patterson's more recent novels, it gives a good insight to Patterson's developing writing style. I particularly liked the story, though maybe a tad too religious, but it all worked together well. I think the fact that the book is out of print right now is the public's loss, and if James Patterson ever reads this, I advise him to re-publish it in softcover like he did with "The Jericho Commandment"/"See How They Run" I had to read a library copy of this book, and I'd really like to have my own so I can read it over and over like his other novels I've read. "Virgin" is definately a favorite of mine of Patterson novels outside of the Alex Cross novels. |
