Title: Not up to snuff - and fat phobic
Product review: I usually really like Jonathan Kellerman's books, but the psychological understanding in this book was limited at best. Although it's a current topic ("assisted suicide"), the author really didn't add much to the topic. I also found very offensive the presentation of one of the characters who had, as Kellerman described it, gone to bed and eaten until she had almost doubled her weight. She was presented in a very unsympathetic view - almost as if she was a criminal, and most of the other characters seemed to be horrified by how fat she had gotten, as if being fat were a mortal sin. I'd expect a little more psychological understanding from Kellerman. I found that the book left a bad taste in my mouth (or in my mind).
