REVIEW: Jonathon Kellerman - RAGE
*Random muttering about being constrained to 200 words - slightly satisfied grunt about making it EXACTLY 200 words*
Two boys murder a two year old, completely unprovoked. They are both convicted and imprisoned, and end up murdered themselves. Psychologist Alex Delaware and his police associate Milo Sturgis investigate why, and their discoveries become more disturbing at every stage.
I have to say, detective novels bore me. What’s more, this book is filled with terrible typing errors and grammatical mistakes and I hate that! Any first year Magill student could and would edit better.
Hell, a 10 year old with a decent grasp of English should do better.
So imagine my surprise to find myself thoroughly enjoying this book!
Jonathon Kellerman releases his information slowly, but not too slowly. He keeps you wanting more, and the real hook is the central characters, Milo and Alex. They’re so damn likeable. The scenes shift between Alex’s work and home life in a detached way that leaves the reader thinking of as Alex a caring man who’s seen too much horror to properly ‘feel’ anymore, which is probably true.
I finished the book still wanting more, which was the last flaw; I like to feel satisfied by a conclusion.
Overall: very, very good, but would be great with a little polish.
