Two pregnant teenagersone in privileged Newport, Rhode Island, one in a poor, remote Irish villagehave nothing in common except for the stunning fact that both are virgins. Private detective and former nun Anne Fitzgerald is c
all
ed by the Archdiocese of Boston to investigate and to watch over the girls as they come to term. But Anne hasnt been told the secret prophecy of the Virgin of Fatima known only to the Pope: one of these girls will give birth to the Messiah while the other will bear the child of Satan. Caught between the certainty of science and the possibility of a miracle, Anne finds herself at the center of a terrifying battle on which the fate of humanity hangs. James Pattersons most recent bestseller, Pop Goes the Weasel (October 1999), had a first printing of one million copies and was a Globe and Mail bestseller. When the Wind Blows (1998), a nonAlex Cross novel, shot straight to #1 in paperback (1999).
Cradle
and All is an entirely reimagined version of a 1980 Patterson novel, Virgin, long out of print. Cradle and All has been chosen as a Main Selection of the Literary Guild. Praise for James Patterson: James Patterson knows how to sell thrills and suspense in clean, unwavering prose. ~ People

Venture beyond FBI and serial killers
I Loved this book, I thought JESTER another of my
ALL
TIME favorites of Patterson's was one of his best, simply because its not in the norm for his writing style. He usually covers crime and serial killers which are also great. But when I need a break from real life stuff, his books like Maxium Ride series and Jester were perfect.
Cradle
and all is an interesting twist on a ''new coming of christ'' and I think he put an extremely interesting and creative twist on a difficult subject. You dont have to believe in christianity to read this book, it simply covers the grounds of what if a messanger of god was born? I recommend this and also Jester(which covers the holy crusades)

The first Patterson Book I read, and I was not disappointed.
This book was the first Patterson book I read and I couldn't put it down. It was a true page turner that left me satisfied at the end. If you are looking for a quick read that will not disappoint this is it.

y enjoyed the book, it's a real page turner. The overall story though, was a bit brief.
Patterson novel outside the norm
Perhaps it is because I am so used to reading the Alex Cross series of novels, but I found this novel to be a little strange, though still enjoyable. I found the book had less of the mystery and intrigue that I was accustomed to. Don't get me wrong, this is a fun and entertaining novel and definitely a great read for anyone who loves Patterson.

Typical Patterson
While I agree that this may not be one of his greatest, I enjoyed the book. I try not to compare
all
of his books with his Cross series, because many of them lose hands down, but in his typical way he put out any fair read (albeit a rewrite). I like is short chapters. Patterson writes good "waiting for the doctor" books as I don't have to worry about having to stop in the middle of the chapter when my name gets called.
