Summary: Run-of-the-mill psycho-thriller
Review: Wanting some light and captivating reading, I stumbled across "The Visionary". With all of the thriller-type detective books out there it's hard to find a unique twist from the norm. This book promised serial killers, psychics, and "pulse-pounding adventure". It met the criteria I was looking for so I decided to give it a go. It pretty much delivered.If you're looking for deep insight or edge-of-your-seat theatrics then you may want to look elsewhere. If, on the other hand, you want an easy, straight-forward read with adequate character development and a decent plot then this should suffice. The writing is the thing that kept me flipping through the pages at a decent clip. Passman uses a minimalist, straight-to-the-point style which doesn't require much in the way of imagination. Also, the story has its share of twists and turns to keep you hooked. The only thing that really disappointed me was (as usual) the ending. It made sense, but it just seemed to be thrown together to end the book. All-in-all not a bad read but certainly won't be winning any writing awards any time soon. This book would be ideal for vacation or wiling away a day or two in the summer.
