After another good 6 hours of sleep, I woke this morning around 5:00 AM and decided to finish my new James Patterson book ~ "Cross"
You may remember my neighbor up the road, Morgan Freeman, played Alex Cross in the movie "Kiss the Girls." Ever since I saw that movie, when I read about the character, "Alex Cross" I see good ole Morgan Freeman~ I can't think of any movie that he has ever been in that I haven't enjoyed.
At the present time, Mr. Freeman is living in the Delta, running his blues club, "Ground Zero Blues Cafe" with this wife, riding horses and recently has started his own independant film company. These low budget, short films will be included in the "Sundance Film Festival" and other similar venues.

This week Mr. Freeman was quoted as saying, " in my town we don't have one movie house, so for a movie like the one I just made, well, it's very unlikely it will be shown around these parts."
It is not unusual to go to a large social gather, " Hearts for Aids" or any other local fund raiser and see Mr. Freeman there. He is just hometown , good people.
As far as rating this book~ I give this book a 7 on a scale of 1 - 10~~as opposed to Mr. Patterson's other books that are usually a 9 or 10 for me.
Nice, simple, fast read. Just my humble opinion.
