North Korea Undercover

This is a chilling book, but a timely one, written with both humour and compassion. Buy it, read it, and discuss it.

Solidarity

A tremendous piece of reporting. This book is one that we should all read and absorb.

Army Rumour Service

Sweeney's book is a spark in the dark of North Korea.

The Times

Harrowing... creepy and poignant; and, in turn, tragic and obscene. North Korea Undercover asserts that the West should be more concerned about labour camps than nuclear weapons.

Tom Farrell, Sunday Business Post

The recent UN report on North Korea under-lined the importance of Sweeney's book. There is much to learn from North Korea Undercover.

Literary Review

Explosive and entertaining... Sweeney provides a remarkably vivid look at this hidden country. An investigative must-read.

Booklist

Sweeney is a very good and honest journalist - he has an ability that is very rare in TV reporting to emotionally judge the truth of a situation.

Adam Curtis

Patterson is in a class by himself.

VANITY FAIR

Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... there's no stopping his imagination.

NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

Patterson boils a scene down to the single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It's what fires off the movie projector in the reader's mind.

MICHAEL CONNELLY

Alex Cross is a legend. He has thrilled us and kept us on the edge of our seat for twenty years now.

HARLAN COBEN

This is the page-turner to end all page-turners.

DOUGLAS PRESTON and LINCOLN CHILD

Alex Cross is one of the best-written heroes in American fiction, and each Cross novel further defines what it means to be a professional, a husband, a father, and above all, a man. Congratulations to James Patterson on twenty years of Alex Cross - both of you only get better and better.

LISA SCOTTOLINE

James Patterson is the gold standard by which all others are judged.

STEVE BERRY, bestselling author of the Colton Malone series

Twenty years ago, I wrote, "Along Came a Spider is the best thriller I've come across in many a year. It deserves to be this season's no. 1 bestseller and should instantly make James Patterson a household name." A household name, indeed. Congratulations, Jim, on twenty years of Alex Cross and on Cross My Heart, which I am loving. You the man.

NELSON DEMILLE

James Patterson is The Boss. End of.

IAN RANKIN, bestselling author of the Inspector Rebus series

It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer ... Simply put: Nobody does it better.

JEFFERY DEAVER

Behind all the noise and the numbers, we shouldn't forget that no one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades. The Alex Cross series proves it. It just rolls along, irresistibly. Here's to the next twenty years.
