Book Reviews of Psych: A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Read

Just like the TV series

"Psych: A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Read" is an absolutely brilliant book that is just like the TV series we all love. It has the witty banter between Shawn and Gus, the funny yet grim situations Shawn keeps landing them in, and a lesson to learn for both of our main characters.

The only thing that's missing in this book is a TV adaptation of the plot. But we all know the characters so well we can imagine their reactions and their faces when they deliver a line.

For those who love the TV series "Psych", this book is a definitely a must-read.

Best gift for Psych & book lovers!

Ok, this wasn't actually for me... it was a gift for my girl. I'm a video gamer, and she's a book reader. [For all the guys without girls and All the single ladies! All the single ladies!! (sorry, had to!) If one reads books and the other games, it creates this bizzare natural harmony & understanding of the other. Try it sometime!] Anyway my girlfriend and I love Psych! We've been watching since the beginning. So this holiday season, I needed a couple small gifts that would hit the mark! This book blew her away! For as many books as she reads, and for as much as we both go online... how'd she miss this and I find it?! (Definitely no video game/KISS products to be found here) I was kinda worried that her having such high book standards, and me with my rather limited interest in books, that it might not live up to the show or her idea of it... NOPE! It about put the girl in tears when she saw it! Smash hit! She literally started reading it right away. Ok, so guys and dolls out there who are fans of the USA Network, you have got to get this! Who knew that the the best shows on the USA Network have books to accompany?! (Burn Notice has a series too, check 'em out!) Maybe someday for us guys the USA Network will release WWE on paperback... (the perfect story for our girlfriends to read to us while we play our video games!)

Until next time...

It's not the same as the TV series

The characters are all there, the mystery is good -- but the experience is very different. So much of Psych (the TV show) is visual -- it's tough for the authors to translate that into the written word.

It's not that you don't understand that Shawn has just seen a clue or connected some dots...but the whole thing feels a little clunky and awkward. Reading this book was fun but it really made me appreciate how smoothly the show is done and how good Roday and Hill really are

Best Tie-in Novel, ever!

This book should have been an episode. It was that good. It was fun, funny, and, well... Psych! Shawn was normal, and Gus was, well, normal. This Book was great, and I've read it 6 times. It get's better every time!

The Show's Called "Psych", Not "Gus"

This tie-in novel was fun but kind of a mixed bag. The writing is good and there's plenty of witty banter that would fit right in on the TV show, but where the show usually revolves around a particular milieu or genre that it mines for humour (Civil War renactions, slasher movies) this book doesn't have that -- unless you consider an impound lot to be a fitting target for satire. Plus the book is told almost entirely through Gus' perspective and as such Shawn's character never gets developed. His taking advantage of a mentally unstable woman is a little creepy and unlikeable as is his intense hostility to a former schoolmate.
