Seriously? They want us to pay over 10 for a book with DRM? A big part of my decision, the Kindle is to buy based on the 9. 99 limitation, the price of the book. I limited my purchases on Amazon. com, now would I downloaded the software that I buy the books on other pages. So, has lost by increasing the price of Amazon at least a hundred a month from me and now I am faced with a corner. Why not, if you do not plan to honor your promises that you will those of us, before the rules have changed, been bought! If you want to pay the full price, so we need to have the content without restriction. This means that we allow the lending of ebooks for people who put them on all our products without restriction on the number of devices, etc. It should not be taken by Amazon for some reason.

I am to forgive my rating a star on the author gay characters, and not the quality of his writing in general. (Would I give this book as a whole about 3 stars. This is the best effort Kellerman in years, which is reflected but not to the standards of the canonical early Alex Delaware.) “Deception” most of the insidious homophobia: the guy in Tolerance is (and probably believes to be tolerant). I wonder if Kellerman is proud to be one of its central figures of this series, Milo Sturgis, gay. After reading the first Delaware novels, I felt happy that gays were represented by this intelligent, effective police, to be the gay happened. But after more than 20 pounds, I am angry that Kellerman is sexually offensive out of the way to Milo, to deny (or seen any other characters gay) any kind of sexuality, and they invest, and other characters with the most outdated attitudes towards homosexuality imaginables.La most other major figures in pounds Kellerman – Alex, Robin, and almost all the protagonists of the police – have Hollywood looks good. They are generally fit, healthy and beautiful, whether male or female, white or color. Perhaps Kellerman wanted to avoid a gay “Pretty Boy” stereotype of Milo, but he seems to glory in him being nasty to us readers, and therefore not in danger, sexist in our heads. Milo pockmarked skin, terrible eating habits, lack of sophistication or even basic manners, a weight problem, no sense of fashion and neglect of personal hygiene. OK, I have are all effeminate gay male gym bunny with faces perfect model, but Kellerman must go so far to convince us he understands that the stereotype does not always? Maybe the bad habits of taste and appearance of Milo to help our – and Kellerman – possible discomfort gay sexuality from a distance. If another character could be in the books and no reader consider Milo sexy, we do not have to worry about the intrusion of sex gay right in this world very literary. All characters (handsome) are directly on the books described as sexual acts, but usually not in explicit terms, and as with sexual thoughts about other people. After more than 20 books, poor Milo (my memory) is hardly a kiss from his partner, the not-very-much-is limned, Rick received. And even if we get a response of testosterone-fueled Alex at all the pretty women that appears (sometimes negative, but still a sexual impression), we never find a man reading Milo studly hot or comments about physics, his good friend Guy Alex. Milo want to extend personal style tights, to the occasional observation of gross sexual? He has never tried to hide his sexuality in a different way after tout.La sexualization of Milo I could continue to live with it, but some comments from Milo in “Deception” I think also what will be tolerated. I began to wonder if Kellerman was never with real people near gay, gay, or had a friend or two evaluations of their projects authenticity. In this latest novel, Milo and his colleagues suspect sign a gay man to be. . . Get this. . . Pastel colors bear. In what universe does it mean powder blue color of the same sex preferences? This attitude seems out of Hollywood movies right in the middle of the twentieth century. I live in the heart of Chelsea in New York, one of gay neighborhoods in the world, and I can assure you that the blue powder that has no special meaning here. I think in Los Angeles, is set Deception, “things would insult similaires.Compoundage the character of the Powder Blue is with sad thoughts of a student’s high school sports suspicion. Here you will learn a (possibly) gay character to be disgusted sexual preferences in detail, if we are of them. In fairness, this could be offset by a presentation to admit positive gay character, another man looking hunky. Can Milo only once to mention the opportunity, as well in his suit looked Rick in the morning, or even come to in the morning looking for work tired eyes and say that Alex has the whole night “celebration” with Rick been? I do not want gay porn softcore spring Kellerman, exactly the same consideration he gives to his audience right to the recognition of their healthy sexuality. Kellerman seems to have both (sort of appease) his fans with a gay gay main character, while his conservative fans only embarrassing have to remember that gay people actually have a sex life. Unfortunately, we seem to portray progress since the days when fruit, such as Paul Lynde and Charles Nelson Reilly played by actors asexual gay in an acceptable way for mass consumption.

I read all the books in the Alex Delaware series, and this entry was average at best. Back and forth the spiritual jokes Alex and Milo is fun, but sometimes it can be hard to read. As for the land, I am not providing spoilers, I will only say that this has been done before. Nothing new or shocking. That is, the book has involved me enough that I had done. Not the best novel of Delaware, but worth reading. Rating: 3 / 5
and “Deception” is not “war and peace.” But it is a story about death, betrayal, and yes, of deception. I think when comparing the work of the writer and his work so far. Can it compare with another writer, this is not entirely fair. Kellerman’s novels are very good for what they are – almost hectic procedural psychology and the police. And “Deception” is a good follow-up from previous Kellerman.Même old, old characters in “Deception”, Dr. Alex Delaware – a child psychologist assigned to freelance – and Milo Sturgis – an LA detective is usually difficult cases. And the case of the murder Elise Freeman was hard. Found in the ice in his own bathtub, had the victim of a vast range of potential murderers. After taking a red-herring DVDs Freeman three fellow teachers appointed at a school in LA preparing ultra-exclusive as a possible suspect found, if he is dead, Sturgis and Delaware begin in disguise by the administration in the attempt, with teachers and students of the school . deal After all, there spring and the forces who want to be is not the reputation of the school will be violated if the ivy decide on admissions for seniors in the school. Add to the money – a lot of this influence – and – much of it – and you have to solve a difficult murder. Freeman is murder of at least two others, to the Delaware and Sturgis, we replaced all together and solve the crime. Well, as the bulk of the work of Kellerman, the characters are kind of cardboard, but Kellerman makes the book good reading through the use of dialogue seems Snappy.Kellerman Alex Delaware novel published each year. I have read and considered all of them were a few years ago they always stale. Somehow, annealed Kellerman imagination and pounds in the last few years have been a good book. Rating: 5 / 5
As Kellerman, the series of Delaware filed before the books were a welcome and unique entry in the genre of mystery: a psychologist who has used his unique knowledge and training to help solve crimes, especially when children are involved, the child psychology a specialty of Delaware psy.Milo Sturgis is a sign that the Delaware, if he needs the support of the police would support. But what makes the show so attractive that the idea of Delaware inadvertently included in the solution of mysteries was the attempt, his patients and his competence as a psychologist would him a unique perspective to solve heal from this crime, despite the ineffectiveness of the police.Mon is how the times have changé.Milo Sturgis now the central figure, Delaware is just along the promenade, and as a sounding board for Milo, so that we the reader has not at the end of his show without being a psychologist completely irrelevant, and Don ‘t as well as equipment for longer used. Gone are the descriptive passages, the implementation and construction, which evokes so LA in all its various motives were. No other elements of personal history, as have about his girlfriend Robin, or his dog, they are nothing more than set dressing for several passages in his house, Delaware (probably just to put something in motion in a different physical scene). Dialogue consists of brief exchanges between Sturgis and Delaware, many scenes with witnesses or suspects, remember the old TV series Dragnet “or perhaps” Law & Order. “The series was a series of Sturgis police with hard, it’s almost at the level of Pulp Fiction, sure,” Police Procedural “rather than some kind of psychological mystery / thriller.Or at this level of recent books – including” Deception “- work … right for what they are. So I think I’ll 3rd base.Mais 5 stars on this classic Delaware, if you wait, especially if you are a longtime reader, you are understood in a large déception.Je authors that make over time, decide creative decisions, and sometimes for their approach to change a character or series. It is certainly their right. But then we as readers should be aware that we receive. Some people may well like this transition, others certainly pas.Comme I said, like a detective novel procedures or hard working, well in this book. But as Alex Delaware Novel “I think it is very far from the mark and is usually quite Piétons . Note: 3 / 5
