The Executor Thriller Novel - Gripping Suspense for Mystery Lovers

When I looked at the ratings for 62 previous reviews, it is clear that The Executor appeals to some, not to all. To me it was brilliant, except for one issue that I will soon describe. For those who treasure writing so profound and descriptive in creative ways (ways I had not read before), this book is for you. I know it may not sound very exciting when I say that the best part of the book is "Joseph's" nonsexual relationship to an older woman who takes him in. But have patience. Soak up the descriptions and thoughts like fine wine.Some didn't like the ending. On the contrary, the ending was perfect to any reader who has been unpeeling the layers of determinism vs. free will that pervades every chapter in one form or another. (I won't say more about how it all goes down as that would be a spoiler.)So, why do I think that many didn't like this book? Because they were expecting a thriller, not a reading experience to be savored page after page. Maybe Kellerman had to include grissly stuff so that it would sell to a publisher or to a reader. That's a shame, but I do understand how that goes. To me, that was all stuck in for "necessary effect" and downgraded the product in the process, but not enough to detract from my 5 star rating.
