Trouble is a book that just could not be completed. Because the book was not completed, only 21/2 stars were given in this review. Just not interesting or likeable.

The Executor is not an enjoyable book. This book has characters who lead very sad and unproductive lives. It is a book that is very depressing. One feels like saying, "kill yourself already." The Executor is not a book that can be recommended. Three stars were given to this review.
