Rage (Alex Delaware Series #19)

An Excellent Story

I liked this book alot. This is the first time I've ever read a Kellerman's novel. This mystery was interesting and intense. So I give it 2 thumbs up.

couldn't finish it

I labored through the first half of the book then finally decided to stop wasting my time. Boring plot lines. Definitely not up to par.

Disappointing

I have read all of Kellerman's books, and usually enjoy them. This one, though, had quite a hodgepodge of characters, none of them fully developed. I started losing track of the characters and their purposes in the plot. Definitely not up to par - and I agree, bring Robin back! When she left she took all of Alex's personality!

It was OK

I like the working relationship between Dr Delaware & Milo, however, some of the storylines work & some are just OK & this is one of them.
I usually wait a few years after the books release to pick it up as it isn't worth the expectation of paying the asking price. At one time Kellerman's books were.

OK Reading.

This book was just OK. The constant descriptions of the clothes everyone wore became tedious. The "I think this is what happened" scenarios got old too. This is the second Jonathan Kellerman book I've read (the first was Obsession, yawn!). At least this book had a story to follow. Some out-loud thinking works great but not all the time. I have one more book by J. Kellerman to read (Monster) and I hope it will be better than this one. If not, it will be the last Mr. Kellerman book that I read. --K--

Not something to write home about!

This book was the second of the Alex Delaware series that I have read, it was okay but it needed to get to the point. I haven't read too much of this author but I already have an opinion formed of the style of writting. I get through the almost the whole book and not much has really happened. I feel like too many characters were drawn in this book and it was too much of a task to try and remember them all. I will read more from this author because they are good inbetween books to read. Hope you like it better than I.

Confusing, Too many people

It really grabbed me at the beginning. But after He started telling the story. I just got totally lost. There was too many people to keep track of that didn't have anything to make them memorable. The story was going in too many different ways. It was boring. I couldn't even finish it, and it was an audio book. -5

A reviewer

A really great grabber to read. It took me only 4 nights to read this. What starts out as a good story ends with a great story! Mr Kellerman can spin a yarn as good as anyone else. A great book to grab.

I enjoyed this

I've read all of the books by Jonathan Kellerman, and like them. Even those with weaker stories are interesting because of the characters' development. I liked Rage, although I understand the frustration of other readers - the spinning of theories did get thin. My biggest disappointment, though, is the suggestion at the end of Robin insinuating her way back. I didn't like her character - she was unyielding and judgemental. Also, I got the impression that Alex and Allison were more solid. All of a sudden they cannot resolve a disagreement, particularly one exacerbated by their exhaustion? I'll have to read his next book and keep my fingers crossed.

What if?

This is the first book by Kellerman that I have read. I will not quickly pick up another by this author. I thought the ending was a disaster.

Just too much and too many

Just too convoluted, too many characters, too many coincidences. Sorry, even though I'm a big fan of the Alex Delaware character, just too much of the wrong things.

Rage (Alex Delaware Series #19)

I found this Alex Delaware novel to be much less interesting that some of his earlier ones. (Maybe it's just time to retire old Alex?) Anyway, it's a bit on the boring side and develops in the same manner as all the previous A.D. stories. I wouldn't recommend it.

Rage (Alex Delaware Series #19)

Having read all of Kellerman's books, I feel this one - and the others he's written over the past 3 or 4 years - are not nearly of the same quality of the earlier ones. RAGE started out OK and moved along for about the 1st half ... then was bogged down with all the characters / alternative theories. I'd lost interest by the last 100 pages. Ending was a dud. I wouldn't recommend it.

HEY, WHAT HAPPENED?

This is an extremely pedestrian novel. No exciting entertaiment, just plodding with the usual, Milo etc. No imagination, not much suspense and certainly a book I could put down at any time!

Disappointed

The plot was intriguing and he's come up with a truly despicable character, but I agree with a previous poster that there were a lot of characters to keep track of. I wasn't happy with the way the book ended. There's no real resolution - Alex & Milo speculate a lot, but there's no confirmation. Any of their scenarios 'could' be correct. Maybe he's planning to continue the story in another book.

Just Couldn't Finish It

I am normally a fan, but this was a big disappointment. I picked it up and put it down several times and finally gave up....it just did not hold my interest at all. Don't waste your money on this one.

Not his usual work!!!

I have read every book Kellerman has written. I was more than a little disappointed. This book was very predictable. I'm not sure what has happen with Kellerman but this book was not his usual work. No suspense and it seem to keep repeating the plot over and over and then the book just ends. So what happened?? I guess everyone has a off day but this is a first in my opinion for Kellerman.

Horrible - He mailed this one in!!

I have read all of his and wife's books and this one just does not measure up. Slow, confusing, sloppy and way too predictable. Bring back Robin.

I LOVE IT

I have read all of Kellerman's books, and enjoy them so much,I force other people to buy them. I love the fact that its the same characters. I know how they think so I try to guess how they are going to solve the case before the book ends.Definitely bring Robin back! Alex hasn't been the same since she left!! This Alison person seems snobbish!

Where's the ending?!

No matter what Jonathan Kellerman writes -- I will read it. In this book, his publisher's deadline must have been fast approaching and the ending was not thought out. Even so, Jonathan Kellerman never fails to satisfy!
