This book was just not for me. This isn't my favorite genre but I can enjoy it from time to time. Unfortunately, I just did not enjoy this one at all. It was just so poorly written that I couldn't really find anything redeeming about it. I found myself constantly speeding up the narration to get through it. I would not recommend this during any reader's advisory. Thank you to Netgalley and Real Nice Books for an ARC of this audiobook. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my honest review.
I have never read a book like Doc Doc Zeus, which is partly why it interested and intrigued me.
We hear stories of Doctors with less than a stellar moral code, and we listen to true crime podcasts, but I’ve never read a fictional book about it before. I liked what seemed like a fresh (not to mention gutsy) idea to me.
Aside from the doctor, I liked all the main characters and the subplots of the book. They were intriguing and I enjoyed piecing all the different aspects together.
That being said, I personally had a hard time reading this book. It was very uncomfortable (as this topic is probably designed). Reading details of a doctor preying on all women, let alone a minor is tough. In that regard, my discomfort was a note of good writing. However, at times I was distracted by choppy and sudden changes of character or circular conversations and themes that had already happened that did not further to reinforce a point or plot of the story. I also feel that the ending was very abrupt and was kind of unsatisfactory. Overall I think it was a brave choice, that for the most part worked well as a book. It’s just not my genre I tend to lean towards.
Thank you NetGalley for granting me access to this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
I actually thoroughly enjoyed this! It was my first ever audiobook. It’s also not a genre I typically go for!
I have always had a fascination in medical malpractice which is what lead me to this book. I loved that we got to hear the transcripts from the court case.
Not bad. Totally predictable and the basis for a lot of made-for-TV movies but kept me interested. I knew the ending before the end of the first chapter but enjoyed the journey. The main characters were all ridiculously dumb but ya can't win them all.
I didnt actually enjoy this , it was both the subject matter and the tone it was written.
I'm not sure how I kept going to the end, but I did, and for that alone it deserves extra points.
The whole thing was just not my cup of tea.
