review 1: Disturbby J.A. KonrathThis is the sixth book I've ready by J.A. Konrath (aka Jack Kilborn), who has written yet another solid novel. This one might even be my favorite by him. True to his other writing, he does two things incredibly well: he tells a great story; and, he peppers it with his brand of humor throughout. He claims that Disturb has less of that Konrathian humor than his other books, and that may be so, but it's still there. And it's good.I think I once read somewhere that he acknowledges he is more of an entertainer, focused on the story, versus the prose. That's probably true, and that's fine, because it is indeed a great story. That's plenty for most readers.What really got to me with this book was the main idea--the creation of a pill that replaces th... moree need to sleep. Wow! I thought that was totally cool and we get a solid story placed on that foundation.If you're already a fan of Konrath's, this is a no-brainer. For those looking for an entertaining thriller...no-brainer. It's a fun and entertaining read.***** 5 STARS *****
review 2: This is a psycho-thriller about a just developed drug that allows people to stay awake and useful 24/7, but there are problems with this drug because the people in the clinical study are going psychotic and having hallucinations. The front cover depicts an axe and an open bottle of pills and if you're looking for "The Shining" type of creepy and scary, this is it. Who will survive in the end which ends with a crazy gruesome twist. The characters and story line are different than anything I've ever read and some of the violence is graphic. While I liked this book, I'd give the creepy short story added as a bonus at the end one star. less

I have read a few of his books and they are always real good. They are not for the faint of heart.
