Book Reviews of Compulsion (Alex Delaware, No. 22)
Book Review: Interesting Villain Develops Slowly in a Disjointed Police Procedural
Summary: 3 Stars
Why do we like to read about monsters? By bringing them out of the dark, they become merely menacing . . . rather than terrifically frightening. That allows us to relax and feel better. The problem with the police procedural and crime novel genres is that the monsters are pretty predictable. As such, they don't satisfy.
Jonathan Kellerman manages to twist the usual psycho model enough to make Compulsion more interesting reading than the plot that shelters the unique character. The story could have been trimmed down by about 100 pages and the book would have been more entertaining. The police procedural element mostly detracts from the interesting criminal.
If you don't like reading about weird criminals, you will probably think this is a two-star book.
