The sequel of the infamous Primal Fear. Aaron Stampler is back folks, the how and why is what you get when you read the book. The way Stampler was written kinda reminded me of Hannibal Lecter.
So, what are my thoughts about this book? Being a fan of the movie and the prequel I honestly think there is no need for the sequel and the threequel. Yup, there is a third book. The sequel was just padded with subplots that I find inconsequential to the main plot. Could have been shorter if not for some of these subplots. The story was set up in a nice way for a very anticlimactic climax. Makes you wonder with the question “That’s it? All the set up for this?”
Well, enough of my gripe. The best thing or one of the better things of the book is how Diehl thrills us with his writing style and story at points. The other good thing being, is that the author reminds of what happens in the prequel (Primal Fear) through varying ways. I read the prequel few years back. So, this reminder helped me recollect what happened and not to stare blankly.
Overall an okay read.
