Customer Reviews

A Standard Tale Told EXTREMELY Well!

I was drawn to Tribulations as a result of my love for the comic-book work of author J. Michael Straczynski (Known hereafter as "Joe" to save me a bout with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome....). I loved his work on Rising Stars and Midnight Nation, and I figured this would be worth a look. First things first: This book is outrageously priced for such a slim paperback... Aside from the sticker-shock, the book itself is quite attractive- Well designed and laid out. The story itself is pretty standard stuff- Another reviewer said it seems like a made-for-TV movie, and, plotwise, I guess it does. A reporter is investigating a serial killer, and becomes involved with a mysterious man who may is trying to stop the murderer using some unconventional methods. Since I knew almost nothing about the book when I started reading it, and enjoyed the element of surprise, I won't say anything else. Joe manages to deliver a few scenes that were goosebump-inducing creepy, and the characters are fun and interesting. The mystery managed to keep me guessing until the very end, and since I can usually see the end coming a mile off, that's high praise indeed.

a great thriller investigative mystery

I love J Michael Straczynski's writings and this book is no exception. A page turner which always leaves the reader guessing. Dark and disturbing and very clever.
