Big Bad Wolf (DVD)

Advantages: A Very Readable Book
Disadvantages: None of Note

.... The introduction of Cross` family is a masterstroke as it shows us the man behind the badge, a man who has to deal with the joys and troubles that family life throws up. If I have one criticism of this book it is that the ending all happened a little too quickly and easily for my liking, I would have liked maybe another forty or fifty pages just to put a little meat on the bones of the end game, but that said this was still an enjoyable read throughout. “Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder” I give The Big Bad Wolf four stars out of five, with the last star dropped because of that too fast ending. Despite that fact, this is another fine book from Patterson that should keep old fans happy while gaining new readers who know a good book when the read one.

Furthermore, in a secondary plotline, his family hits a crisis point when his ex-fiance appears back in his life and demands her rights to their child. The case itself is a white slave trading ring, in which rich and beautiful women (and men) are kidnapped to order. The operation seems to be run by a Russian mobster called The Wolf, who wishes to assert his prowess as top gangster, and is quite fond of a practise he calls Zamochit. His henchmen soon start being destroyed or captured and his plot unravels - or does it? As usual in Patterson, the main villain is decidedly not stupid, and it's catching him that will be the biggest problem for the FBI. Also as typical in Patterson, there are a couple of his 'happy moments' in which victims are... Read review

Advantages: Tense, psychological horor in the main
Disadvantages: Can get a bit gruesome for some maybe?

...Australia, land of dreams, beach parties, barbecues and back packers. A country where 30,000 people go missing every year (or so this film tells us), fortunately 90% of them turn up or are found within a month. That still leaves 3,000 people who vanish, never to be seen again, or possibly are found after one month? The Australian outback is an unforgiving place and it is possible some of these missing people just got lost there and were never found again, but then it is just as possible that what happened to them is just a little bit more down to who they met rather than where they were. Wolf Creek tells the story of what happened to some of those missing people and is based, take note of that word, on a true story. We open in Broome, a pleasant looking coastal town where two British girls, Chris & Lizzy, are nearing the end... Read review
