Summary: Very exciting book to read.
Review: I now have read three of his books and haven,t been disappointed yet. I usually don,t like to read court scene but I read this one because of the arthor and I know from his previous books I enjoy them, so wasn't disappointed. It has alot of action which I like. I hope his next book won't be to long I like his writing.

Summary: A solid page-turner.
Review: This book is a must-read for all you suspense fans. I couldn't put the book down for wanting to know "who dunnit". Baldacci really gets in-depth with his characterization of the main character, John Fiske, although I wish he had gone into more depth with the other characters. Once again, Baldacci delves into realism with his behind the scenes look at the Supreme Court and brings just the right amount of action and suspense into the story. Another great story from Baldacci!

Summary: Fantastic Story!
Review: Best book I've read in months. This story really sizzles from page one. The characters are complex, as are the relationships--very little is predictable. I especially enjoyed the way the story slowly unfolded. Layer by layer, and the suspense was real. If you tell me you could predict the ending, I'll call you a liar. I thought "The Winner" was great, but this was even better. Can't wait for the next Baldacci novel!

Summary: A fun read...
Review: I enjoyed The Simple Truth. I have read all of David Baldacci's novels. They are fun and hard to put down. However, as a dyslexic...Mr Baldacci's information was not quite accurate

Summary: Good? Yes, Very Good? Nah
Review: It looks like Mr.Baldacci wrote "The Simple Truth" while recuperating from the mess of "The Winner". Its more sort of a comeback vehicle, after such interesting and engrossing thrillers like "Absolute Power" and "Total Control", my personal favourite, he dolled out an absolute horrid in "The Winner". "The Simple Truth" starts out with a big bang but in the end lacks the delivery punch. There could have been more characterization to the lead protagonist,Rufus Harms, after all the book is written using Rufus Harms as the basis, when compared with the other two protagonists, John Fiske and Sara Evans. Even a side character like Rufus's brother hogs more limelight then the main character himself. The most impressive characterization though is of the FBI agent Warren Mckenna. This character puts life back into the book, before it can go in the same track as "The Winner" did.All in all a good book, though not as good as "Absolute Power" or "Total Control", but definitely much much better than "The Winner".

Summary: Another Page-Turner From Baldacci
Review: In typical David Baldacci fashion, The Simple Truth is a story that holds your interest from beginning to end. While Baldacci's books are not great literature, they always are interesting, exciting and fun to read. The Simple Truth is Baldacci's best book since Absolute Power. If you're looking for a book that will provide you with true "escape reading", you won't be disappointed in The Simple Truth... and that's the simple truth!

Summary: A fine novel, but not his best
Review: I normally try to find all the good points in a novel when I'm ready to review it. I liked this one because it: a) dealt with the Supreme Court, something I'm not too familiar with. b) had good character devlopment. c) had a nice, stratigized plot, and d) it had good suspense. As in all previous Baldacci books, he tries to incorporate romance into them. No. Don't do that. Leave it out. It hurts the book. If my brother was blown away, I wouldn't be sleeping with another woman half a week later. It's unrealistic. Rufus, on the other hand, is a great character. The best chapter in the book, I think, is the first one. I read it about three times. I loved the beginning, and the end was okay. The dialogue analyzed the characters in itself, but Baldacci uses profanity when it's simply not needed. Profanity is used, in writing, to subdue emotions, to bring out feelings, to support the dialogue or a scene, not for chit-chat. It's pointless. All in all, despite some minor flaws and cliches, I'd give it four stars. It was good reading, and worth the time spent reading it. Keep it up, Mr. Baldacci.

Summary: ATTENTION GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS: READ THIS!
Review: Baldacci's novel is slower than his other books. Once involved though, you cannot put the book down until it is completed. I believe that Badacci hit on a crime that the government has been guility of committing for several years on innocent soldiers. God forbid they never experiment on my son! I read to escape. In this book, I "escaped" by living in a prison, running from the law, killing a human being, dying and finally being exonorated. I can't wait for the next novel.

Summary: Exciting and totally interesting throughout!
Review: The author keeps you on the edge of your seat reading this book throughout. It seems so life-like and really has you reading more than you want to each time you pick up the book. I found this book to be equally as interesting as all of the other books Mr. Baldacci has written.It is another "can't miss" book for everyone to read.
