Self-Defense: An Alex Delaware Novel Audiobook

" Really slow going, but not as bad as the Kellerman I recall reading on a bus trip in Australia a couple of years ago. "

" Kinda gripping, but like so many times before the ending was far from satisfying. "

" I liked the beginning of this book. I was intrigued by the idea that the main character, Alex Delaware, was a clinical psychologist and a patient of his had just been on a jury that convicted a serial killer. Now she was having recurring dreams of seeing two men carrying a young woman into the forest. It had potential, but bogged down at one point and I think it would have been a better book if he had taken out about 100 pages. I did like it, but I only give it 3 stars. "

" It was a pleasure to come across a Jonathan Kellerman, Alex Delaware book that I hadn't read. I think that this one could have been improved by more Milo Sturgis! He hardly appeared. At times the long suffering Lucy seemed quite self reliant. The father, a supposed famous writer was in his pathetic mode--coming apart physically, and perhaps mentally as well. There were a number of unpleasant associates, but some nice people, too. I would not like to have been Lucy--what a family history! Alex and Robin are building another house after their original one was burned. THe French bulldog appears briefly in this book. "

" A good page-turning crime fiction book. The perfect light-reading antidote for some heavier stuff I've been reading recently. "

" I thought it was about average for a Jonathan Kellerman book. Not gripping, not boring. "

" Good brain-candy detective story, which is about all I can handle. "

" 3.5 stars. This was a solid read, but I didn't think it measured up to his other work. "

" Jonathan Kellerman's early works are just okay. I thought this book was slightly better than the Clinic eventhough the Clinci was newer than this one. It had an intersting storyline about his patient the sleepwalker. "

" Pretty good. Got a little confusing with all the names. werent fleshed out enough for me to remember who was who. Nice twist at the end. "

" I think that this story is very unique - not so much because of a dream that turns out to be a clue to a repressed memory (which totally happens for real, by the way), but because of the revealing look into how it was in the California Art/Movie/Drug scene. Probably still is this way. "

" I just love Alex & Milo. This series is great & what psych does not delve into dreams? Love it & such a fan. I want more! "

" Excellent, had me hooked all along, not entirely sure I was satisfied with the ending, but a good read "

" Psychopathy {is} a form of creativity. There's no shortage of artistically brilliant people who had low moral IQ's: Degas, Wagner, Ezra Pound, Philip Larkin. {Even} Picasso was pretty hard to live with. "

" Another Alex Delaware/Milo Sturgis book. It was good. "

" Very good book. Got long and tangled in the middle, but I got through it. This is the story of a young woman who had witnessed a murder when she was four years old. She repressed the memory until she was a juror in a murder trail 20 years later. Lots of twists and tangles in the story. Very good. "

" Read this some time ago as all of this series so far. "

" Great book, kept me on the edge of my reading seat. Kudo's to Jonathan Kellerman for another excellent Dr. Alex Delaware book. "

" Repressed memories? Yeah, pull the other one, it's got satanic sacrifices on "

" This novel has a great dog sub plot. Alex Delaware finds an abandoned French Bull Dog who steals his (and the reader's) heart. "

" Another great Kellerman murder mystery. I loved it. "

" I listened to this on cd. Well read, easy to listen to. Story told mostly by dialogue. Child psychologist turned detective, Alex Delaware walks into a room, describes it, what his subject is wearing and looks like, then has a conversation. Everything is explained in depositions at the end. "

" Good characters easy to loose yourself in Kellerman's writings. I've read every book in the Alex Delaware series and enjoyed them all. "

" A little predicable. I had it figured out in the first 1/3 of the book. "

" Jonathan Kellerman's early works are just okay. I thought this book was slightly better than the Clinic eventhough the Clinci was newer than this one. It had an intersting storyline about his patient the sleepwalker. "

" Great book, kept me on the edge of my reading seat. Kudo's to Jonathan Kellerman for another excellent Dr. Alex Delaware book. "

" The opening of the story is so gruesome that I threw out the book. Then I couldn't get the image out of my mind so I decided to retrieve the book, face it, read it and let it go. Pretty good read. A little funny with the plot as the opening of the book has very little to do at all with the plot. "

" #9 (I believe) in the Alex Delaware series. No worse, no better then any of the others I've read. Simply a very good, dependable read. "
