But in the end the boy betray him and he almost about to die. Be careful who you trust. Because even if you show them so much kindness they will end up betraying you. Not all of them but there’s so many people nowadays that you give your trust but they still choose to betray you. As I finished to read the book of James Patterson, Cross Country.

I will 95% as an overall rating because I’m too

impressed of James Patterson’s writing skills and techniques. I’m so amused while reading it because every chapter that I read there’s always a excitement. From the beginning of the story I trust Alex Cross that he will catch Tiger soon. But unexpectedly that every time that he’s near from where the Tiger is he always end up getting into trouble. Still, this is the book that I highly recommended to you because James Patterson is a legendary writer. He could bring his readers to his book. I believe that this is not the only book I'm going to read.
