5.0 out of 5 stars Survival of the fittest, April 2 2003
By Kosovar (New York) - See all my reviews
"Survival of the fittest" was the first book I ever read from Jonathan Kellerman and I must admit I really liked his writing style because he unfolds the story so professionaly.

"Survival of the fittest"
A cop commits suicide in public.A retarded fifteen years old girl
is found dead. She happens to be the daughter of an Israeli diplomat and (the poor thing doesn't get enough publicity so the killer would be found a bit easier) this is because criminals may get encouraged to target other diplomats children. Later on,
another girl is found dead - and she happens to be just a street girl even though she was strangled to death too...
A detective Milo Sturgis, has all the help he needs to solve these crimes and all that help comes from a psychologist Alex
Delaware...

If you enjoy psychological thriller this book wont dissapoint you at all.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not exactly a page-turner, Dec 12 2002
By A Customer
This book dragged a bit. There are lengthy descriptions of one character watching another search the Internet extensively without result, or of a detective making numerous telephone calls that don't produce information. Milo and Alex do a lot of repetitive brainstorming, going over and over and over the same material. As other reviewers have mentioned, the latter half of the investigation doesn't seem exactly linked to the murders.

I was surprised to read in the "Top 500" reviewer's response that "A serial killer has been shooting persons with mental and physical challenges." None of the victims are shot.

2.0 out of 5 stars Skimmed the last 200 pages, May 26 2002
By A Customer
I lost interest in this book part way through. There were far too many plot twists. The book seemed to lurch spasmodicaly through the mystery.

Deleware's relationships were relatively flat and his relationship with Robin had no depth or feeling. This was my first Alex Delaware book and I found I really didn't care what happened to any of the characters.

I think it's interesting that the used versions are being sold for a penny. Hits the nail on the head.
