What do readers think of Trust No One by Paul Cleave? Write your own review.

I was somewhere in the middle on this one. Parts of the novel were very engaging while other times I thought it went on too long. Ultimately I felt the need to keep reading in order to learn the final outcome. It was definitely a very unusual & clever take on early onset Alzheimers with really interesting character development.

Paul Cleave holds nothing back in luring us into the harrowing world of dementia or early onset Alzheimer's. There were so many times I wanted to put the book down and walk away from it. At times it seemed never-ending and then all of a sudden it ends and I'm scratching my head and wondering what just happened. This book will make you constantly wonder if this is what it really feels like to be in this disease's grip. Alzheimers has been tackled by several authors, I've read Still Alice by Lisa Genova, Turn of Mind by Alice LaPlante, and Leisure Seeker by Micael Zadoorian for my book club and I expected more of this gentle slide. Trust No One was more like a tilt a whirl, it spins you around until reality is gone.

This book is categorized as a 'thriller' which is entirely accurate. If you enjoy books that are more action-oriented than character-driven you will like this book. And for fans of this genre you'll guess the ending about halfway through - but - you'll be unable to put it down until the last page. It's a different slant on the 'did-he-or-didn't-he' type of narrative and you won't be entirely sure if the main character is a reliable narrator or not. I enjoyed this book and found it an entirely satisfying read.

This is the first book that I have read by Paul Cleave and I will definitely be looking into more of his work. I was sucked in from the beginning by his dynamic main character and had a hard time putting down the book because I wanted to find out if I was right in how it would end and I never would have guessed the ending it had.

A successful mystery author suffering from early onset dementia is believed to be guilty of multiple murders. His struggles to find the truth in his weakening grip on reality, hindered by those he would trust most.

I found it a challenge to track his journey and impossible to put down. The author is new to me but I want to read more of his work.

TRUST NO ONE by Paul Cleave is an apt title, indeed. Jerry Grey, crime fiction writer, is gradually succumbing to early onset Alzheimers. In the meantime, killings are occurring around him that bear eerie similarities to the plots of some of his thrillers. Is Jerry guilty or isn't he? The narrative jumps time constantly from"now" to "then" in rapid succession until the reader herself begins to doubt what she has read previously! This author does a craftily successful job in "showing" the reader the confusion of dementia by the narrative pattern rather than "telling" about it. Great story, exquisitely written, entirely engaging. I would strongly recommend you set aside large blocks of time for your reading to as to safely arrive at the end! What a ride!

The title of the book is good advice to the reader - don't trust what Jerry tells you because you don't know if it's real or if it's his early onset Alzeheimer's twisting his memories. Is he remembering scenes from his books or did he really commit the crimes? The book is a bit confusing at first but once you get into it, it's a fantastic ride to the end. I thought that the author did a fantastic job of keeping up with all the threads of the story. I know that some people won't like the ending but I thought it went along with the rest of the book - any other ending would have seemed wrong. It's a great book and I want to read more of this author's books

I was excited to read this thriller book especially from a well known author. The beginning and middle of this book kept going. The going was slow and then the author weaved some twist in the book where you wanted to keep on going. As I have just finished reading the book, I have a lot of mixed feelings. Why did I waste my time reading this book:( and why did I waste my time reading this book-I want more:).
