Book Reviews of Dead Time (Dr. Alan Gregory)
Book Review: Dead Time by Stephen White
Summary: 5 Stars
Good service by the seller, and the item is in mint condition.
This is the latest of the "Dr. Alan Gregory" novels. Watching the other regular characters evolve is always interesting.
Book Review: Dead Time is Pretty Dead
Summary: 2 Stars
I've read all of White's books and this one is the weakest of all. His novels tend to be hit or miss in quality but just plain poor writing sinks the minimal effort put forth by the author here. At the end, White thanks his editor. Perhaps he needs a stronger editor, one who will tell him when one of his novels needs a lot of work. The reader could skip this entry and not miss a thing except disappointment and frustration.Book Review: Dick Hill is a great reader.... however,
Summary: 4 Stars
Fine book. Maybe could be a little tighter and less repetitious. I'm looking forward to finding out what really happened in Europe.
Now... Dick Hill is a great reader, one of my favorites. However, a good part of this book is told in first person by Alan's ex. Maybe it's just me but whenever she started talking it jarred. Wrong-sex FP narration just doesn't work for me. Never have a problem with dialog in third-person. Funny, huh? Anyway, if that doesn't bother you you'll enjoy the book. If it does, well, you've been warned. (Wasn't Alyssa Bresnahan available to read Meredith's part?)
Book Review: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
The "His Ex" and "Her Ex" contrivance was annoying and distracting; while some of the dialog much too ethnically-colloquial for my taste.Book Review: Ditto with the "Disappointed" review.....
Summary: 3 Stars
Before I began Dead Time, I couldn't help but see all this author's previous titles and thought, with awe, that I have been so very pleased with all SW's books and just how amazing that is for me...I guess I gave myself the kobosh---wow and what WAS he thinking is all I can say. Yes, this book is all over the place, and truthfully, I couldn't have cared less about the EX or her life when the book began, and by the end, I felt as tho AG needs lotsa help. And oddly enough I found I didn't care about the original crime or any of the people involved with it--so I was reading the entire book caring mainly about Jonas and feeling very sorry for poor Gracie, because her daddy has problems....I am laughing with great disappointment....the saving grace for me is that I took this out from the library so it didn't cost me a penny!!
