Resumo de Kiss The Girls - James Patterson

One thing that I look for in a book is intrigue; am I hooked, does my

mind run through the suspect list as I do the dishes, do I despise the

perpetrator yet feel sorry for his plight, will I go as far as rationalizing all

the different ways that the poor soul is simply a product of his

upbringing and shouldn't be held fully responsible? As soon as I'm

starting to feel sorry for the son of a @#*@* does he go and do

something so horrendous that my pity turns to rage, my sympathy run

into a dead end. When I was once so sure that all the sicko needed was

a good role model, someone who could understand him, my view of him

does a 180. "Find him! Burn him! Kill him!" I gladly join in the battle cry

of the village, he must be put to a stop! But wait, who the hell is he?

Have we misjudged, is the wrong man going to be apprehended? Ah,

the emotional ups and downs of a good thriller. Murder mysteries are

by far my first choice of literature if I am bored with my everday

thoughts. How exciting to be swept up in the drama of someone elses

tragedy, so wonderful to get all riled up over something that isn't yours

to deal with.

Now, I'm beginning to wonder if anyone is getting curious as to the

particular story line that got me so tied in knots. You may have figured

out from the Title of this abstract, but just in case you didn't here it is:

Kiss the Girls, an addictive novel by James Patterson. I have a feeling

that many of you have seen the movie, if you have you may understand

some of the reason for my anger. Although, if you haven't read the

book you won't even understand the half of it. Those movie editors

know how to do their jobs, edit out the stuff that people may not be able

to stomach, a very effective method in increasing sales. Unfortunately,

the movie version won't give you all the disturbing details, the parts that

makes you sit back and wonder what kind of dreams Mr. Patterson has

night after night. Oh, the wonder of spending a day in his mind. Where

does it all come from? Where do you get the idea for a story as

horrendous as Kiss the Girls? A psychopath kidnapping talented young

women and holding them in an underground prison. A man who

tortures them, all the while proclaiming his love for them, then he looks

at his watch and realizes " well, I must go to work now" so he locks

them up and goes and joins the sane folk in the real world. He weaves a

pattern of normalcy so tightly around himself that no one notices the

devil on the inside. No one, that is, except his prisoners. Exceptional

young women, talented, educated. He dresses them up so they may

come out and perform for him. These poor women are so hopeless that

they sit there in their evening gowns and play and sing for the madman,

the one who broke them down to submission.

Now, of course, we would know nothing of this if one of the women

didn't manage to escape. A particularly strong willed woman, Kate, who

is then able to supply the police with more information than they could

have hoped for. She works side by side with Detective Cross, a strong

ally but a terrifying enemy. As they begin to unravel the mystery, there

comes a very personal realization; the man who had Kate has Detective

Cross' niece and they don't know how much time they have before he

kills more of the women, or who will be next. And, of course, no good

story is complete without a crazy twist. Casanova ( the psycho wannabe

lover turned killer ) isn't working entirely alone. Well, I will leave you

there with a strong recommendation to read the book, find out for

yourself what really happens.
