Cradle and All

By: James Patterson

Narrated by: Edoardo Ballerini, Rebecca Soler

In Boston, a young woman finds herself pregnant--even though she is still a virgin.

In Ireland, another young woman discovers she is in the same impossible condition.

And in cities all around the world, medical authorities are overwhelmed by epidemics, droughts, famines, floods, and worse. It all feels like a sign that something awful is coming.

Anne Fitzgerald, a former nun turned private investigator, is hired by the Archdiocese of Boston to investigate the immaculate conceptions. Even as she comes to care about and trust the young women, she realizes that both are in great danger. Terrifying forces of light and darkness are gathering. Stepping into uncharted territory where the unknown is just the beginning, Anne must discover the truth--to save the young women, to save herself, and to protect the future of all mankind.

Critic reviews

A #1 New York Times Bestseller!

good book

I liked this book. It was a very good read entertaining enjoyed the story. I enjoyed the characters.

Divinely Delicious!!!

An amazing storyteller who is always surprising his readers with mystery and intrigue of all genres. I have yet to find one of his books I can't put down, I always need more. James Patterson is "Flawless."
Choice of narrators also practically perfect in every way!!!
God love it! ( Pun intentended ) LOL

Not his typical... In a bad way

I finished it only because I always try to finish books I start, the characters didn't appeal to me the story itself was a bit odd something I'd expect from Ted Dekker with so much religion, not a fan of this one.

THIS was written by James Patterson??

I tried this because James Patterson is supposed to be a great author and the premise sounded relatively interesting.

What. In. The. World. This was a whack-a-doo, poorly written, poorly developed, nothing story based on a completely weird and inaccurate interpretation of the Roman Catholic Church and basic theology. The characters were stupid, and their arcs were rushed, segmented and incomplete. It was like someone was trying to write a movie script based on the interesting parts of a worldwide faith without knowing anything about that faith except what they could glean on Wikipedia. Then, tried to squeeze in a fantasy element that helped their premise along and just ended up with a weird pile of words.

Honestly, I only finished it because I paid for it. But I want my money back,

Also, while I love the female narrator (she’s one of my favorites), the male narrator was AWFUL. PAINFUL. He took whatever good there was in the book (which was almost nothing) and destroyed it.

The best thing I can say is that it’s over.

it was good

I like all of it really good book I like everything about it was so good
