5.0 out of 5 stars Jodi5, Aug 4 2009

By	Nadia Sadowy (Winnipeg, Man, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Compulsion: An Alex Delaware Novel (Mass Market Paperback)

I read the book about a week ago and I enjoyed it so much that I went out and bought 2 more books by Jonathan Kellerman -- Gone and Obsession. It was a fun read and I completed the book in 2 days -- read the book every chance I got. I have now passed the book onto my husband and encouraged him to read it which he is in the process of doing right now. He is enjoying it as well. This book left me wanting more.

4.0 out of 5 stars He's back, Oct 21 2008

By	Susie Sharon (Orleans, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Compulsion: An Alex Delaware Novel (Mass Market Paperback)

For the first time in a few books, I felt like Alex was back and he was... happy? He seemed less gloomy and more stable. I enjoyed the deduction work, the clues flung all over and the relationship with Milo. It felt a bit slow but well developped.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Villain Develops Slowly in a Disjointed Police Procedural, May 1 2008

By	Professor Donald Mitchell "Jesus Makes Me a P... (Boston) - See all my reviews (#1 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Compulsion: An Alex Delaware Novel (Hardcover)

Why do we like to read about monsters? By bringing them out of the dark, they become merely menacing . . . rather than terrifically frightening. That allows us to relax and feel better. The problem with the police procedural and crime novel genres is that the monsters are pretty predictable. As such, they don't satisfy.

Jonathan Kellerman manages to twist the usual psycho model enough to make Compulsion more interesting reading than the plot that shelters the unique character. The story could have been trimmed down by about 100 pages and the book would have been more entertaining. The police procedural element mostly detracts from the interesting criminal.

If you don't like reading about weird criminals, you will probably think this is a two-star book.
