Mindful of A Murder of Crows
12. Mai 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
In downtown Los Angeles homeless bum Albert K. Arnold accosts bestselling author Dermot Nolan at the latter's warehouse home. Dermot's first reaction is the visitor is crazy. Still, he accepts a manuscript from the derange person mostly to get him out of his face.
Nolan puts aside My Worst Nightmares, a journal of an abusive serial killer who catches his victims over his net site Dream Healer before committing atrocities based on the prey's biggest fear. When Arnold dies, Nolan takes a closer look at the manuscript. Suffering from writer's block since his last book was sold to Hollywood last year, Nolan and his wife adapt Arnold's book and publish it as his. However, there is one problem that surfaces with the plagiarism of the manuscript; evidence mounts that My Worst Nightmares records real homicides that make the writer a person of interest to LAPD, the FBI and a serial killer working the Internet to ensnare his targets.
Mindful of A Murder of Crows starring Cuba Gooding Jr., WORST NIGHTMARES is a terrific thriller as Nolan crumbling under writing pressure to produce his next novel takes a seeming shortcut that leaves him in a greater pressure cooker. Readers will know who his antagonist is, but not care as the fun in the tale is to see whether the novelist can extract himself and his wife out of peril from a lethal serial killer and with the law that believes he is the lethal serial killer.

Surprised how bad the book was compared to the reviews...
24. August 2010
Format:Kindle Edition
I didn't read the reviews before buying this. I just picked it up randomly at a book store and wanted to try out a new author, and the story synopsis seemed incredibly interesting. The book was a total bore. The Dream Healer was easily found out, the book tried too hard to be scary to the point of reeking of cheese. The main character was extremely annoying. The main character's wife had no personality. She let her husband run over her like he was a huge John Deere machine. I did not care for her, feel sorry for her. I only really ended up feeling bad for one character in the book toward the end.
The ending of this book was just horrible! I had to make up my own ending in my mind. There are some books that work with the "open-ended" type finality, but this just didn't work. There were a lot of moments in the book where people would do INCREDIBLY stupid things that you mostly see in cliche teenager-naked-in-the-shower "horror/slasher" movies.
The book, in the end, simply reeked of cheese. It's not the worst book I've ever read. I just wish it wasn't predictable, I wish the ending made more sense, and I wish the characters had more depth and were less annoying. The only good thing about this book is that it gave me something to waste my time with while recovering from a recent surgery. It gave me "hope" that something interesting would actually happen somewhere near the end.
/sigh

A Phenomenal Thriller
23. August 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Award winning author, Dermot Nolan is under pressure. His half-million dollar advance is spent and he can't seem to produce results. An unsolicited manuscript ends up in his mailbox. It's written by Albert K. Arnold and appears to be a memoir of a serial killer. Nolan and his wife investigate the murders to see if these were based on real people. What he discovers is chilling.
When Arnold apparently jumps off a roof and dies, Nolan takes the man's work and publishes it as his own. Months later, when the book is a success and there is talk of a movie deal, Nolan gets a phone call. Seems like Albert Arnold wasn't the jumper on that roof and Nolan's worst nightmare begins to take form.
The ending of the book was left to the reader's imagination. Normally, I'd throw a fit when this happens. With this story, it worked. When I finished the last page, I was done. I felt I knew what happened next and I didn't want anyone to tell me different.
This phenomenal thriller and I can't wait to see what Shane Briant will come up with next!
