Book Reviews of The Serial Killers Club
Book Review: Interesting concept, terrible execution.
Summary: 1 Stars
I was originally drawn to this book by its title, and purchased it because the premise seemed interesting. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a story I had to force myself to finish. The summary and sample reviews on the cover promise enjoyable dark humor, but anytime there was an attempt at humor, it was only painful. The problem is that none of the characters are remotely likable, least of all the protagonist. I was unable to feel anything towards the characters except annoyance. As a result, the only thing driving me to finish the story was pure willpower. You can no doubt find better novels on which to spend your money and time.
Summary of The Serial Killers Club
When our hero finds himself in the path of a serial killer, he somehow manages to defend himself, and give the blood-thirsty madman a taste of his own medicine. But when he goes through the dead man's wallet, he finds a mysterious personal ad inviting him to join a party hosted by Errol Flynn. What begins with passing curiosity soon becomes uncontrollable obsession, as our hero becomes acquainted with 18 killers. Their game: to share the thrill of the hunt and to make sure no two members choose the same two victims. To protect their identities, they have all chosen names of old Hollywood stars, and before long, our hero becomes Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. But he has no intention of following the rules. With a government special agent on his trail who will soon become his partner in crim, "Dougie" plans to knock off the killers one by one, from Carole Lombard to Chuck Norris, to Laurence Olivier and Cher. But what happens when the "stars" notice their numbers dropping?General Books
