Title: The Naturalist Pdf

An Amazon Charts bestseller.

Professor Theo Cray is trained to see patterns where others see chaos. So when mutilated bodies found deep in the Montana woods leave the cops searching blindly for clues, Theo sees something they missed. Something unnatural. Something only he can stop.

As a computational biologist, Theo is more familiar with digital code and microbes than the dark arts of forensic sleuthing. But a field trip to Montana suddenly lands him in the middle of an investigation into the bloody killing of one of his former students. As more details, and bodies, come to light, the local cops determine that the killer is either a grizzly gone rogue…or Theo himself. Racing to stay one step ahead of the police, Theo must use his scientific acumen to uncover the killer. Will he be able to become as cunning as the predator he hunts—before he becomes its prey?

Here is a direct quote from book “acaagatgcc attgtccccc ggcctcctgc tgctgctgct ctccggggcc acggccaccg” Yet another terrible book published by Amazon then sold by Amazon.The writing is horrible.Lots of 1-sentence paragrapshs.Like this.And like this.2-page chapters.That’s 2 pages on kindle.I guess the 1-sentence paragraphs were to make the chapters long enough to be 2 pages long.Otherwise they’d be about ½ page long.Except for chapter 72.It’s only one paragraph.A short one.Bad bad writing.Bad editing.Ridiculous story.First chapter where Kelsie gets killed very scary.Then book drops off into some nerdy professor who gets questioned and released.Who can apparently use a computer but can’t speak in compound sentences.His student from years ago got killed.Not Kelsie.Forget Kelsie.The author does.Throw in typos.Toss in serious spelling mistakes.Throw out editor.Professor transforms into some sort of superhero.Finds loads of bodies.Throws around biological terms like candy at Halloween.Throws in some DNA stuff too.nuDNA, mtDNA, and this sequence right out of the bookacaagatgcc attgtccccc ggcctcctgc tgctgctgct ctccggggcc acggccaccgThat’s a quote right out of book.That’s when I realized that Amazon will publish and sell anything to get money.This book is crap, written like crap, edited like crap.The author’s a magician.His best magic trick is calling this a novel.Intriguing Character Initially, this story hooked me. I was fascinated by Theo's character. He is brilliant, socially awkward, complex, and persistent. He willingly admits that he doesn't really understand people and their behavior, being far more comfortable with his science and computers. And yet he finds himself in the precarious position of having to interact with people and predict behavior.I loved the unique investigative approach, using different types of science and computer models to track and predict patterns. I don't know if all the forensic information is factual, but it does all have a realistic feel.By the midway point, the story lost a lot of its appeal for me. Theo, who is not the bravest of men, and certainly not an outgoing adventurist, becomes too much of a superhero. His investigative abilities fall into place too easily, and his heroics seem a stretch at best. I still enjoyed his character, but found myself questioning the plausibility of the story.The cops involved go the unfortunate route of all being incompetent jackasses. Theo is threatened but otherwise allowed to insert himself into investigations, leaving a breadcrumb trail for the bumbling cops.I never got a clear feel for the killer, beyond the fact that he was godlike in his ability to murder anonymously, over decades, until Theo comes along.The ending is overblown. I don't want to give spoilers, so I can't really clarify this statement. The culmination of events was just too much to believe.And so, for me, the intrigue of Theo's character was the only thing that kept me reading.
