The Apprentice by Tess Gerritsen
4.0
You can read more of my reviews at my blog The Book Chick.
I enjoy Tess Gerritsens writing and find her a terrific storyteller. That Jane Rizzoli gets on my nerves all the time and that I sometimes just want to scream, is a testimony for how great her writing really is. I had no trouble with keeping the speed up and there were few slow parts in the book. It is action packed and suspense filled all the way from the first page to the last. Such a great ride. We did pick it up more or less from the end of the first book and we are following the same track with Hoyt and all that. I thought it would be excessive and underwhelming, maybe even a little boring but it is never anything like that.
One thing I love is how great Gerritsen is with the medical explanations. They are never tedious or hard to understand for someone like me who is not that knowledgeable in those subjects. And even though I have seen the TV series several times over and there is not that many differences between the book and the series, I was never bored. It was nice to meet some of the other characters that has a big part in the TV series and I was a little surprised because they are a little different yes. But I do think it will be some changes further on in the book series that I'm exciting to follow.
