Book Reviews of True Evil: A Novel
Book Review: compelling read
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the best one by Greg Iles. My favorite is The Quiet Game but True Evil deserves the 2nd place on my list.Book Review: disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
It saddens me to say that I thought "True Evil" was a disappointing book. I absolutely loved "Third Degree" so I had very high expectations when it came to reading this book.
The main character (Alex Morse) is not very believable. It seemed a little bit too far fetched that she was faced with some much tragedy in her past as well as her current life but yet still managed to be such a great crime solver. This aspect kinda reminded me of "Step on a Crack" by James Patterson. I didn't like that one either.
Nevertheless, it was a good concept but I think that Gregory needed to do some more rewriting to make this book more palpable. It's definitely not a book that I would recommend.
Since I find some of Gregory's writing style to be similar to James Patterson, if you're looking for a real page turner, read "The Quickie" by James Patterson. I promise you won't be disappointed.
