Book Review: Rules of Deception
Summary: 2 Stars
Lefties will love this book. The main hero character is a Peace Corps type who represents everything good in the world. Along with a (wouldn't you know) Swiss police official who is also good and of high moral values, try to thwart the villains who are of course nutballs that head the CIA and the evil of all evils, the head of military intelligence. Reich also drags Christian Religion into the mix as of course part of one of the villain's mental make up. If you are like me and tired of liberals portraying America in a bad light then don't bother with this book.Book Review: Absolutely Phenomenal! Now this is Entertainment!
Summary: 5 Stars
Believe the reviews. This is the real deal. I just finished the book (bought it yesterday) and had to share my exhilaration. I'll put it simply: the most enjoyable international thriller since "Day After Tomorrow" ten years ago, and every bit as diabolical as any of the Bourne books. Better in fact, because its so much more realistic. From its dizzying opening in the Swiss Alps to its richly evoked side travels to Africa and the Middle East, this is one incredible pageturner. A book that manages to entertain, educate, and thrill - all in one!Book Review: A Future Movie!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Mark my words, this book will be made into a movie (although movies usually are not as good as the book)! It has all the elements of a good espionage, electronics & technical gadgets, along with assassins and a few different things going on at once, yet all coming together further along in the book.
Trust me, if you like espionage, spy books, then this one is for you. It makes a good fast paced summer read, and if you're like me and enjoy reading before bed I can guarantee you'll be awake past what you originally planned!
Book Review: Like many before it........
Summary: 3 Stars
This was an OK read but as with too many books on the shelf today,the plot was labyrinthine and the overabundance of complicated alliances became more tiring and far fetched than suspenseful and believable.
While the geopolitical focus was contemporary and interesting, I was sorry that he chose Doctors without Borders to play the role that it did. Regardless of how much one knows that this is a work of fiction, there is the very real risk of readers carrying from it an unfairly mistrustful impression of NGOs.
Book Review: Author Reviews on back cover
Summary: 4 Stars
I have seen CR's books in the library and bookstores before, but I have never read them--until this one. I read it because of the positive review by Lee Child on the back cover.
I was not disappointed by the plot. It moved quickly and was an interesting read. Yes, at times I had to suspend by belief and try not to roll my eyes at some of the adjectives or other descriptors used to describe characters or places. This was the perfect book to read after a long weekend of mid-term grading.
