Book Reviews of Bones (Alex Delaware, No. 23)
Book Review: Dry Bones
Summary: 1 Stars
The premise is intriguing, the execution is flat and pedantic. The ending is rushed. The character development is virtually non-existent. The detectives key in on one person way too soon. There aren't any good red herrings. There's no intricacy in the plot. It's basically sophomoric. Alex Delaware is just along for the ride. He says "I don't know" more than I would, and I'm not some hot shot psychologist. The book just isn't any good. Kellerman is riding on his reputation on this one.Book Review: Really Dull
Summary: 2 Stars
Normally when I read a mystery the last 100 pages are the fun. Iwant to see what happened and how it ends. In this case I kept checking to see how many pages I had left. I did not care about the characters. None of them were interesting.
Also I am getting very tired of long descriptions of how much Milo can eat. I will continue to read Jeffrey out of habit but I sure hope the next entry is better.
Book Review: a cozy sweater
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a classic book from Kellerman...everything you have come to expect from the Alex Delaware series--the familiar characters with a new storyline. New cop character added, as well, and I hope he is utilized in future stories from Kellerman. Plot was entertaining, and kept my interest...I read the entire book in 3 days, and it would have been less if I didn't need sleep!Book Review: dull and insipid
Summary: 2 Stars
i usually normally enjoy jonathan kellerman's books, but this is one is such a rehash and reworking of all of his other novels. nothing new or interesting, the repeated description of the indian restuarant almost drove me out of my skull(and i'm indian!!), the abused protagonist, the drugged out crazy killer, the steely eyed female attorney,yada, Review: Deliciously spookySummary: 4 Stars I love it when they take something sweet and charming and reveal it as macabre. In this case, it's a lovely little wetlands-restoration. As the book progresses, the premise gets less and less believable, but it remains fun due to the author's always-wonderful ensemble. Milo, in particular, really shines in this one, and displays his ongoing evolution.
