Book Reviews of Third Degree: A Novel
Book Review: Disappointing!
Summary: 1 Stars
I was looking forward to starting my summer reading with one of the few Greg Iles books I'd not read. I was disappointed from the first chapter. It did not sound like Greg Iles at all! I kept hoping that things would pick up, but it just plodded along throughout. Third Degree seemed totally out of character for Iles, and it fell flat - not exciting, not suspenseful, definitely not worth the time it takes to read. Odd.Book Review: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
I was pretty shocked during and after this book. This is, by far, his worst work.
I found myself in an eternal wait for a punchline that was never delivered. This is very unlike Iles. It almost seems as if someone else wrote the book.
I have read and loved all of his prior books. That is why this one is such a shock to me.There is nothing of substance here. I hope he can learn from this mistake.
Book Review: Lurid
Summary: 1 Stars
Third Degree is one overly long gossip column. There is an obsession with male sex acts. What is the point. Extended commentary on sexual prowess and income tax evasion are apparently to serve in lieu of a plot.
I read it because I paid $10 to read an "electrifying bestseller of Southern small-town suspense." What suspense? Everything is highly predictable. Save your money.
Book Review: Unbelievable
Summary: 2 Stars
I am a big fan of Greg's books.I own and have read every book he has written.This book however was not very good.The plot was fine,but you really need to suspend reality to believe the various twists and turns.Just not realistic.Because of this the book tends to drag in places.I normally read his books in one or two nights,this one took 5.Hope is next is betterBook Review: God Awful
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is about adultery that rewards the guilty parties. Ugh, I never read a book that made me so angry at the end. And I read trashy novels all the time. It dragged on forever, it was like watching a 24 epsiode that never ended. Please pass this book by. Don't waste your time.
