Psych: A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read by William Rabkin
2.0
The mysteries were fine enough, but the characters were exaggerated versions of themselves. Shawn's recap of the crime was far grander and more annoying than usual (Typically I enjoy his prolongation of the summary, but in the book it was tedious).
My biggest complaint was the amount of misogyny. Shawn, Gus, and show more generally don't objectify women. Sure they fight over a girl or make a few comments here and there, but in this novel there was some very overt (borderline offensive) oogling and sexualization of female characters that made the men in the book creepy. And poor Jules was reduced to a side-kick who forgave Shawn after he spouted out some random, memorized feminist rant.
Overall, not a great representation of the show.
