2 of 5 stars self-criticism, December 15, 1999
Reviewer: caleb carr from New York City

I am the author of this book. It has a few good scenes, but is essentially "roman a clef" nonsense that every writer has to get out of his system early on. Do yourself a favor and read ANYTHING else I've written (you'll be doing me a favor, too). Forgive the follies of youth.

1 of 5 stars What?!?!?!?!, February 8, 1998
Reviewer: tom745@tiac.net from Plymouth, MA

After reading The Alienist, I thought "Why not see what else this guy's written?" Should've known better. All I can say is thank God he waited 14 years to write another book!!! (Must've been taking classes....) Couldn't really make it past the first chapter. The charcters were, well, thinly veiled real people. He should have just called the "hero" Caleb... Sorry, Caleb, loved everything else, even the history books, but this is simply unforgivable!
