A review by aejohnson85
When the Bough Breaks by Jonathan Kellerman
2.0
Once again, another book with a great premise that didn't quite measure up to me. Many reviewers commented on how out of date it was, but I think that's obvious when the book was published in 1985. I didn't find that that really detracted from the book.
My real pet peeve was that everything was described to the smallest detail. We were subjected to reading EVERY item that Alex ate, or EXACTLY what a person was wearing, or EVERYTHING that was in the room he entered. I found this really bogged the book down - I really lost focus and found myself skimming these sections as the book went on.
I have the next in the series on my shelf and hope that it's a bit more enjoyable than the first.
