One of those rare instances where the made for TV movie that came from this story is better than the original source material. Stay away! Stay far away!

ONE RELEASE OF THIS BOOK WAS ENOUGH 1 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This is a bad book with a story line that is fairly simple. There are two young girls, both pregnant and both claiming to be virgins. One, Kathleen, rich and privileged, lives in the United States. The other, Colleen, lives in a small country village in Ireland. According to a secret missive from Our Lady of Fatima, one virgin will give birth to Satan's child, the Anti-Christ, while the other will give birth to the child of God, a new Messiah.

Meanwhile, all over the world apocalyptic manifestations are sprouting up. Pestilence, drought, famine, and and other evil portents seem to dominate the global landscape. Something strange is going on, and it appears as if the forces of good and evil are gathering about, girding themselves for one final battle.

Father Rosetti, an emissary from the vatican, has been entrusted with a secret mission by the Pope relative to these two young virgins, and it is one that will sorely try his faith. Meanwhile, former nun turned private investigator, Anne Fitzgerald, has been retained by the Archdiocese of Boston to look into the phenomena of a possible immaculate conception with regards to these two young women who inhabit disparate worlds. Anne must not only confront the unknown in order to assist these two young women, she must also confront her own powerful emotions and a destiny she could not have imagined.

Written in 1980 and originally released under the the title, "Virgin", this book has been updated by the author to make it appear as if it were a more contemporary work and recently released again under the title "Cradle and All". The book is riddled with ridiculous cliches from the horror genre and lacks any real tension. It has been released again to capitalize on the author's success with his Alex Cross series of thrillers. Unfortunately, it is not cut from the same bolt of cloth and lacks the quality of both writing and plot that earmarks his Alex Cross novels.

Editorial Review:

Only a miracle can save us now. As the world prays, the Vatican watches, waiting in horror as the terrifying prophesy long held secret is about to be fulfulled. One young virgin shall bear the child of light. Another shall spawn the beast of everlasting darkness.

The six children have escaped horrifying government experiments, a childhood in captivity, and a frightening brush with death.

All that the children want is to return to the one place they have ever felt truly protected-the waterfront cabin known as the Lake House.But in order to get there, they must thwart the sinister plans of a survivor from their worst nightmare-plans that not only keep Kit, Frannie, and the children in constant peril, but threaten the future of human existence.

A PLEASING MISTAKE TO MAKE 5 out of 5 stars.
63 of 68 people found this review helpful.

I ordered this book for my wife thinking it was written by the slightly more famous James Patterson who's books she devours avidly. As an Englishman living and working around Athens Ohio, I found this novel really interesting as it provides a great insight into both the area and College life in the US. In addition I also found The Thirteen to be an entertaining and grippingly realistic story, something I cannot always say about the authors alter ego. This book cleverly combines the journey of our freshman hero Five Lowry as he discovers the great mysteries of life, namely beer, women and commerce with a murder mystery. No mean feat in my opinion! My wife was somewhat grieved by my mistake, personally I was rather pleased and hope all my future errors turn out as happily.

VERY Disappointing 1 out of 5 stars.

I was very disappointed to receive the book and find the author - James Patterson - was not who I expected, but decided to take a chance anyway. The story was interesting, but I must admit, I was so unnerved by the poor job of editing that I became distracted easily. The book is published by an Online Library that apparently does not proofread before printing. The pages are filled with typographical errors and misuse of words and I found myself wanting to reach for a red pencil to circle all the mistakes rather than concentrating on the author's intent. I spent nearly $30 to receive a poor quality paperback book that will definitely find its way to the back my bookshelves - maybe into the "bad book box" in the corner of my laundry room.

Good Book, Needs a Better Ending 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Like all of James Patterson's books, this story was well written, kept the reader's interest. I felt he did not tie in all the loose ends as well as he could.

The relationship between the protagonist's brother and his relation with the rest of the characters was not carried out to the end as well as it might have been. His story about the black spider was much better and, in this book, the ending was great!!!
