Finished up reading The Alienist, and I'll have to agree with those who've given the book a review of 'less than expected'. Perhaps, though, it's because of all the hype attributed to the 'National #1 Bestseller!', or maybe the intriguing title (prior to this book, I had no knowledge an alienist was a psychologist). A good read, but not stellar.
Moving on, I'll be reading Dan Brown's Angels & Demons, of which I already have high expectations (not a good thing, I assure you).
