Summary: A good read with accessible, fun characters!
Review: I knocked this whole book out while stuck in a plane on the tarmac during a flight delay! The plot concerns a mysterious conspiracy involving several twists and, as one protagonist in the book states, an alphabet soup of government agency acronyms. I especially enjoyed the main character, Kidd, and his narrative perspective that described his actions and observations blow-by-blow forsaking flowery prose for to-the-point story line. If you like difficult to guess conspiracies seasoned with wry action and even some medium dark humor, then give this book a try! As for me, I plan to pick up the preceeding "Kidd" books to see how this interesting character came to be.

Summary: Disappointed!
Review: I was excited to find this book on sale as John Sanford is one of my favorite authors and I love the suspense of his Prey novels. Wish I could say the same for this Kidd novel. I have to say I thought the characters were shallow, and Kidd was a pig. I had trouble getting past Kidd's behavior. The plot was ultra-slow to develop and very scattered. I'd recommend skipping this one and reading the edge of your seat Prey thrillers with characters that you can route for.

Summary: Sanford's Prey Fans...Don't Bother
Review: I've read all of the Prey novels and have thoroughly enjoyed them all.......However, this was my first (and last) Kidd Novel. If you are into high tech mania that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, go for it. This doesn't even come close to the quality and excitement of the Prey novels.

Summary: A Nice Departure From The Prey Series
Review: John Sandford's Prey Series has been becoming more and more stale with each book. Easy Prey which was released earlier this year was by far the worst book yet. That is why I was amazed to hear that Sandford was releasing another book so soon. I was expecting the worst. However, I was pleasently surprised to learn that The Devil's Code was actually the third Kidd and Luellen book. I grant you that this one was not as good as the first two(The Fool's Run and The Empress File) but it was still enjoyable. This kind of book is exactly the kind of change of pace that all authors who write a series should write. I agree with some of the other reviews that Lucas Davenport is a better character, but let's be honest have any of the recent Prey novels come even close to some of the earliest books like Rules Of Prey and Eyes of Prey? Take this book for what it is, a very good departure form a great author. The plot drags at some points but overall it is an interesting suspense story. Now let's hope Sandford breaths some life into that other series or we all be hoping for more Kidd novels instead.

Summary: Disapointing read, it happens. Author of LAST CALL
Review: Kidd is a interesting enough character but the story was sad. I only read this book all the way to the end because of my faithful following of John Sandford. Devil's code has a lot going on but the attempts made to grab my attention suffered severly.

Summary: Big Brother is (probably) Watching
Review: Kidd, the hero of Devil's Code is a likable computer hacker/criminal and a fairly good artist. He must be a good artist because he does not have another source of income. The plot involving two seemingly unrelated murders is interesting enough. St. John Corbiel as head of a company called AmMath has come up with a software program that will intercept intelligence satalites, and he is selling photos and information to foriegn buyers. The two murder victims got to close to what he was doing and Corbiel's people killed them. The sister of Jack Morrison, one of the victims looks to Kidd to find out why her brother was murdered. There is not a great deal of mystery throughout the book. The plot is fairly simple, the characters are predictable, and the ending is not really a surprise. Kidd is interesting enough to carry the reader through to the end of the book, but not enough to make me log on to find the other Kidd books. I like Lucas Davenport better and hope there will be another "Prey" book soon.

Summary: Nothing intriquite about this.
Review: Let me just say that the first 50 pages are very fast paced and you will at least remember them. Most of the technology(in the computer stuff) in the Devil's Code is ery well done and very cool, however the author tries to make the book to suspenseful we already know the ansewer to who killed those people.
My biggest compliant has to be the ending, as in most of these kind of books the bad guy is killed within the lat 29 pages and all the good guys(Joanna, Bobby and the rest) go riding off into the sunset.
Still this is a good book to read if you are stranded in an airport for 6 hours.

Summary: Couldn't Wait for it to End
Review: Many readers on various book sites would tell me, "you've gotta read the Kidd series by Sandford." This was the first that I read and it was a bit of a snore. This Kidd individual seems pretty shallow as his character has no depth or reality to it. LuEllen was a more interesting person than Kidd and maybe it would have been better if the story centered on her. Don't waste your time with this one. Sandford should stick with his "Prey" series.
