Great Book Strange Ending

I loved this book. The ending was very strange but i do hope that perhaps it is leading to another book?..Maybe? Hope so. I tried to find this author online but could not. In the back of the book is a website but when i tried it, it doesn't exist. too bad. Weird weird ending.

All good, but the ending.

I thought that this book was really good.I loved the way it always had somthing going on to keep your intrest. The only thing i didn't like about it is the ending, it kind of dissapointed me.

Really good book...just a weird ending

I have to agree with one of the past reviews for this book. This book was really good,the plot was very substansial, but there were a couple of problems with this one...first of all, unless I missed it, I do not think that there was ever a real concrete solving of who killed Agnes Rivera....plus this book ended really, really strange! I think that this book left a lot of questions unanswered for the reader. I think that in the end, the reading had to use his/her own imagination and come up with an ending that satisfied them. In the end...good book, but just a really weird ending!!!! I just hope that this not a precursor to what this author has to offer in future installments with his work.

and 1/2 stars

David Rothberg is a psychiatrist who takes on the job of evaluating violent criminals who are close to being paroled back into the society they menaced. His friend and supervisoradvises to rely on the computer program that analyzes the criminal and base his recommendation on that report. David disagrees and wants his recommendation to be based on his own personal interaction with the criminal. His first patient Victor Janko AKA the baby carriage killer. Fifteen years ago he was convicted of a crime that was brutally violent and occurred in front of the eyes of her young son. The computer program, his supervisor and the prison guard all say Victor is damaged goods and should stay in jail. David thinks this man can be helped through medicine and therapy. As he begins his evaluation of this patient startling revelations come to light which turnseverything upside down. ..... With him being a doctor this scenario is highly unlikely. The rest of his novel is original and has quite a few surprises in it. The ending fits the rest of the story and leaves readers satisfied yet you might have to rethink your feeling of guilt or innocence for Victor. Rating 9

Best Psychological Thriller this year!!!

The review by 'Publisher's Weekly' is way off the mark. This book was reccomended to me by a friend who simply couldn't stop raving. Far from being 'dull' as this reviewer stated, 'Dangerious Behavior' is a non-stop roller coaster ride...and the surprise ending blew me away. I can't wait to see the movie...and can't wait for Marks' next book. He is up there with the best of them. This book is page-turner and a must-read!!Michael Harry
