A Book in Review: Psych: The Call of the Mild

Psych: The Call of the Mild By: William Rabkin
fiction: mystery 279 pages
Book Count: 25

First, this book is based on the TV series Psych. As such, it would be most enjoyed by people who watch the show. There is some explaining of things that you would learn from watching the show, but I don't think that there is enough for the book to make sense without at least seeing the show a few times.
As someone that has seen the show, I liked this book. It did a good job of writing out some of the things that make the show so fun. It uses the start with the flashback to young Shawn and what it adds to the characters background fits with the show. It also has the pop culture you would expect in the show. (Add Lost joke here.)
In this book the guys all have to confront their worst fears/nightmares. Gus is out in the woods being chased by a "monster. " Lassiter has to deal with jurisdictions and working with others. Henry has to deal with his biggest fan, someone that has taken everything that he said in a school assembly and based his life around it. And we later learn what Shawn's nightmare is.
