Book Reviews of Divine Justice
Book Review: Trash Writing, Trash Characters, Trash Story
Summary: 1 Stars
"Divine Justice" may not be the worst book I have ever read, but it certainly ranks in the bottom 10. I have no idea how I remained reading it to the end. A testimony to reader tenacity in the face of overwhelming odds to throw it in the garbage can.
Why is it so bad? Well for starters, there is juvenile dialogue, silly scenarios, stick figures, phony patriotism, unlikely and unbelievable plot and too many coincidences to render any part of the story credible.
There are way too many characters, all superficial, all uninteresting and all amateurishly drawn. Even the main guy who dominates almost every page, Oliver Stone, never quite reaches a level of humanness needed to make the story work or him believable.
In an attempt to make the hill country people of Virginia seem realistic, Baldacci borders on reducing all of them to stereotypical white trash, described with a tinge of racism.
The worst part is the dialogue, taken right out of junior high school (apologies to all 11 to 13 year olds). This book is a disgrace. It is simply awful.

But his freedom comes at a steep price: The assassinations he carried out prompt the highest levels of the
With their friend and unofficial leader in hiding, the members of the Camel Club risk everything to save him. Now, as the hunters close in, Stone's flight from the demons of his past will take him from the power corridors of Washington, D.C., to the small, isolated coal-mining town of Divine, Virginia-and into a world every bit as lethal as the one he left behind.
