Trouble

Trouble by Jesse Kellerman

Category: Fiction Grade: F

This was a lay down. Jesse, the son of authors Faye and Jonathan Kellerman, doesn't have any where near their talent. He relies on shock value to keep the reader interested and it doesn't work. The book tells the story of a surgical intern who, supposedly saves a woman's life from a street attack by killing her attacker. There's plenty of nauseating detail about surgical procedures. If that weren't enough, the woman he saves (sorry for the spoiler) turns out to be a masochistic psycho-chick. The descriptions of violent sex finally turned me off completely and I put the book away. Only go here if you've got a really strong stomach (and don't tell me that you decided to read the book - I don't want to know).
