Book Reviews of Mind Prey
Book Review: Fans of Davenport will love this one.
Summary: 3 Stars
"Mind Prey" is a great book for Lucas Davenport fans. It is classic with regards to our protaganist. Interestingly enough, throughout the book Lucas toys with the idea of asking Weather to marry him (he has even bought an engagement ring!). This small detail adds a slight amount of intrigue to the mindset of Lucas.
The evil villian in this book is a madman. He has traits that have reminders of previous villians (like the maddog, except this guy is really crazy). The difference between John Mail and the Maddog is that this guy has some fragment of creepy normal-ness to him. I believe that adds to the erieness of this book. This book is not a creepy as I was hoping nor was it super suspenseful.
I mention these "dissappointments" because the book was still a good read, but I would've liked some more suspense and thilling moments like some of the previous works. I do not agree with many who review this book that say this is Sandford's best work yet. In fact, I strongly disagree. There are many other Davenport books that I enjoyed much more than this one, but this one is probably top three or four.
The other reason for a three-star review and not a four- or five-star review is the fact that I was really interested in the mind games that were mentioned in the reviews and previews of this book. I was hoping for some serious mind games/mind control issues/manipulations. Surprisingly enough, the games were few and far between. The ones that did exist were dissappointingly simple, or too ridiculously complex. I was never thinking in my head, "Wow, that clever Davenport, how could he set up a trap like that." Some of the traps are awfully familiar with "Rules of Prey" as well.
In fact, this just seems to be somewhat of a rewrite of "Rules of Prey," only much dirtier.
