True Evil

Greg Iles tried to do a Robin Cook…medical thriller with evil inside geniuses’ minds. The book starts off ok and carries you in a more than normal pace though at times, it feels like the author wanted to deviate along 2-3 paths and kinda allowed ideas from the weaker ones to still come in wvwn if it hadnt been selected. The book is an ok read though I’d have skipped it if I had known earlier but then that’s what gives a really good book its charm isnt it? It’s a read which doesn’t offer too many pages to flip so the author doesn’t allow you to get into the book, there are no details to grip you, it lacks the quality of information a medical thriller has, it doesn’t give you glimpses into the medical world nor delves into medical aspects enough which is why I think it doesn’t keep your attention. The book though I think is ingenious with by giving the villian a better role than the good guys, it allows him to be stronger, smarter and with more resources at his avail. However I realise while reading the book that the hero (or heroine in this case) doesn’t or isnt allowed that emotional connect with the reader. What happens if the reader isnt pulled into her shoes or into the story allowing them to be even at times disinterested in the story but just turning the pages anyway.
