Therapy (Abridged): An Alex Delaware Novel Audiobook

" Jonathan Kellerman is a clinical psychologist. His understanding of the human and the criminal mind makes his writing intriguing for me. "

" I listened to this book rather than read it, and I found Kellerman's constant detailed descriptions of every new person and every new room Alex Delaware walked into quite annoying. I'd never noticed that in his previous books. It also had a loooong list of characters, suspects, and a tangled plot with motives run a muck. For me, listening to the story made it very difficult to keep track of everyone, and I found myself hoping they'd just solve the darn thing, so I could move on. "

" I usually am more drawn in by Jonathan Kellerman novels than I was with this one. Granted, I read the final 2/3rd of it pretty sporadically due to the birth of my daughter & few opportunities to read during those early weeks. "

" Another book from our book swap at work that was great to read over the weekend while I was sick. Decent book candy. "

" A complex, satisfying police procedural. Not really a thriller, as there is little action except near the end, but the story keeps throwing red herrings and plot twists at you - enough to keep the pages turning. In the Alex Delaware books, I enjoy the psychology part, probably somewhat because of my own education, but also because in many stories of this genre, it is usually unconvincing; however, Kellerman uses his own psychology background to keep it realistic. He is not as good as the British equivalent but as far as crime novels go, he is reliably entertaining. "

" Always a good read. One really cares about the characters. "

" This MUST say something about my access to good books these days in China. (Luckily I just ran into a few good ones to borrow from a friend.) My mom left it here when she visited. It wasn't bad and I read it in about 2 days. The plot wasn't too predictable although once I figured it out I didn't feel like finishing the end. I must say it did get me itching for some good mysteries... "

" There was suspense almost to the end. It is good read and I do like this author. "

" Just when you think no stone has been left unturned in this murder mystery plot, a Rwandan diplomat comes along and changes everything. "

" I liked especially the psychological twists in this one. "

" Although I love this series, this was not one of my favorites. I wasn't interested in the characters or the outcome. Finished it because it's not in me to leave books unfinished. Maybe it was due to so much broken up reading time getting ready for Christmas. "

" Another Excellent book by Jonathan Kellerman! "

" The psychobabble bits were great ... the plot not so much. "

" Way too many characters in and out of the story. Got confusing at the end. "

" Another Alex Delaware book, with some good plot twists. "

" kellerman was good, but there seemed to e too many irrelevent subplots to mix it up "

" Just reread this. One of Kellerman's better recent books, IMO; he's grown (mostly) out of his faux. Hemingway. Phase. Where every other sentence. Is a dramatic. Fragment, and both writing and plot are the better for it. "

" All that glitters ain't Gold ... "

" I loved reading a book with geographical references I could actually relate to! It was a good, complicated mystery that I couldn't put down. "

" Another great Alex Delaware book. "

" (Book 18 of author's Alex Delaware/Milo Sturgis series.) "

" Okay read but nothing new. No thinking required even to the wardrobe and sooo much detail of places, rooms,etc. "

" Language! I enjoy the Alex Delaware stories except for the language. Alex, a psychologist, works with the police to help solve crimes. This story is about a group of pyschologists that scam the welfare system and end up paying for their greed big time! "

" quick library read - was ok, but could've been so good. maybe the rest of the series is better? "

" ok - but not one of my kellerman favs "

" 2.5 stars - felt it drug in parts "

" Con-vo-luted. Way to much "here's what happened" in the last chapter. "

" it was a good book but there were too many irrelevent subplots "

" kellerman was good, but there seemed to e too many irrelevent subplots to mix it up "

" Jonathan Kellerman seldom disappoints. This Alex Delaware/Mile Sturgis mystery held my interest throughout and I read it in less than 24 hours. "

" Two-haiku review:Young couple murdered:Unidentified woman,Brain-damaged young man.More murders ensue.Psychologist and patient...What's the connection? "

" Decent story, though I want more about Delaware and his life. Nice to see him interacting with Robin and Spike again. "

" good,but slightly overlong story,would read another by this author. "

" Another great adventure, mystery and intrigue with Milo and Alex. "

" Another Excellent book by Jonathan Kellerman! "

" The Deleware books are like old friends to me now. THey don't surprise me much, and they're pretty predictable. But I'm always grateful that they're here. "

" There are some great and surprising characters in this book who unfortunately do nothing surprising. I think the reason I rated it so low is because the end disappoints. Prior to the ending, it is a page turning smart mystery. But you've got to have an ending. "

" I usually am more drawn in by Jonathan Kellerman novels than I was with this one. Granted, I read the final 2/3rd of it pretty sporadically due to the birth of my daughter & few opportunities to read during those early weeks. "
