Book Reviews of Mind Prey
Book Review: LUCUS COMES THROUGH AGAIN!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read several Prey books. My favorite until now was Winter Prey, but Mind Prey may be the best one yet. They are pretty close. In Mind Prey, John Mail kidnapes a women and her two daughters. She is a Dr. who has treated John before for mental depresion. Really a nut. He carrries them to a old farm house. There he begins to rape the mother. The youngest daughter is carried away. The mother is told he carried her to a Wal-Mart and let her go, but did he???? Lucus it called in to try and find Mail and the woman and girls. The action is great. The mind games Mail and Lucus play with each other is very good. I loved the ending. Goody, goody. Through out the book Lucus is also trying to find a way to ask Weather to marry him. Does he ever do it???? A very good read if you like scary stories.Book Review: If you haven't read this series you have missed a treat!
Summary: 5 Stars
Mind Prey was the very first "Prey" book I ever read. I picked it up in an airport and was instantly hooked. John Sandford has the rare ability to build "real" characters that are flawed but real - cruel but interesting - attractive but not cheesy.
For those of us with kids - this particular book is savage! It starts with a guy fishing on a lake... and right then your nerves will start to fray - you know that something BAD is going to happen.
Step in Lucas Davenport - Part detective, part game designer, part animal. This guy is about the best detective I have seen portrayed. He isn't Sherlock Holmes and He isn't Mike Hammer, but he is definitely a bit of both.
One last thing - if you read one - be prepared to buy the rest!
Book Review: WOW WOW WOW!
Summary: 5 Stars
What a book! What a writer! Just when I think that I could be a writer myself, an author like this comes along. "Mind Prey" is brilliant, it kept me up all night! Sanford is in the league of Lehane & Pottinger, I will definately be getting the rest of the series.The characters are believable, the plot is great, the ending is sensational! I have read many many crime/suspense fiction and was expecting this to be another who-done-it with a double agent in the police force, as there usually is. But, this novel kept me hooked right until the end. I especially enjoyed the victim's perspective as that is rarely seen in crime fiction.
If you are looking for a great book to read and are tired of the usual ones, you'll find it with Mind Prey!
Book Review: Lu cas Meets His "Evil" Game Nemesis
Summary: 5 Stars
Started with book no. 1 in the Prey series, and have enjoyed every one! I feel like Lucas Davenport is a close family member. I thought Winter Prey was the best so far til I read the next one, Mind Prey. Each Prey book has a totally different scenario of circumstances and bad guy/girl. This makes for a new and exciting read with each book even though Lucas appears in every one. I love following the same hero/heroin in a series. They become familiar to you and you don't want anything to happen to them. Very similar to Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta. Am now reading Sudden Prey and it's great too! Keep them coming Mr. Sandford!Book Review: Lucky #7
Summary: 5 Stars
Number seven in the Davenport series, this is the best one so far. Plot and characters are deep and REAL. This is a thrill ride from page one and carries on throughout. Regarding those who have written the violence is extreme in this book, it is disturbing, but there is a raw reality feel to it. Absent that key element, the story would without a doubt lose its edge. You go into this book knowing to some level what the plot is; you can not then expect it to be anything less than intense....and Sanford has shown that is his style on most, if not all, of these Davenport episodes.
