The Executor is not an enjoyable book. This book has characters who lead very sad and unproductive lives. It is a book that is very depressing. One feels like saying, "kill yourself already." The Executor is not a book that can be recommended. Three stars were given to this review. ( )

My first warning should have been the lengthy flashback that came early in the book and provided a fairly uninteresting backstory for the character. Worse still, the backstory did not impact the overall story to the extent given in the telling.

The main character is a snobbish professional student who spends an extraordinary amount of time agonizing over trivia matters. Suddenly, when faced with a life threatening situation, he changes into a cold-blooded killer. The shift is abrupt and so complete as to sound like an entirely different person from one half of the story to the next.

Adding to the problems of almost implausible character behavior is the audiobook narrator’s mispronunciation of several words.

What saves the story from a single-star rating is the interesting, if self-involved theme, and the old woman who dies. ( )

A great recommendation by my wife. This book was a fantastic read. A story that took a turn I never expected. Really entertaining! ( )

I've read 3 or 4 of Jesse Kellerman's books, and I'm not impressed with his characters. They just don't seem to possess much common sense, and I become impatient with their ramblings where they try and justify their actions. ( )

Ohhh---good! Creepy in the absolutely complete detail of what was happening but a story that worked in so many ways. The audio was read wonderfully by Kirby Keyborne. ( )
