Kevin shines on, April 16 2011

I don't think I have read a Kevin O'Brien book that I did not like. One always better than the next, and this is no exception. Good plot

Okay, Dec 21 2005
By J. Lewis "Bookworm and Music Lover" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Last Victim (Mass Market Paperback)
This is my first Kevin O'Brien novel and while it was an exciting read, it had a rather predictable ending. Alpha male, Brad Corrigan, is running for state Senate in Oregon with the help of his twin sister Bridget who works as his campaign manager. However, the twins have a deep dark secret from high school that they share with a few other students that will doom his campaign if it is ever made public. However, a few of their friends involved in this secret are suddenly getting killed. Characters in this one are somewhat shallow and a typical reader cannot identify with any of them. I'll give one of his other novels a try before I judge Mr. O'Brien too harshly.

Mixed Feelings, Sep 20 2005
By William M Miller - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Last Victim (Mass Market Paperback)
I have mixed feelings about this new Kevin O'Brien novel. I read all his work, so I think I'm a good and fair judge. As always, his writing is technically very well done and it flows nicely, but the story this time was lacking in many departments. Much of the dialogue felt melodramatic and at times -- gulp! -- it seemed like a tv-movie-of-the-week. The dialogue for Janice's character seemed way over the top, as did the Senatorial candidate Jim Foley.I've read way too many stories about the cliched plot where a childhood secret comes back to haunt the protagonist. I didn't feel the killer in this was very credible, intelligent, or scary at all. He was just a crazy painter with a strange obsession that's never explained. In conclusion, I just didn't feel that Kevin was very inspired in writing this book. It felt like a paycheck. I want the dark, edgy author that gave us "Make Them Cry" back. That book dripped with evil and was a much better read.
SPOILER: When Siegel steps in a puddle of paint thinner, I highly doubt that his entire body would be engulfed in wild flames because his sock was wet.
Listmania!
