Summary: Not his best, but I'll keep reading John Sanford...
Review: Too many characters and a convoluted plot make this one of the hardest of the "Prey" series to get through. Don't get me wrong - I sailed through the book in a couple of hours, but here's the problem -- you don't really care about any particular character, even if you CAN keep them all straight. And he pulls an Agatha Christie at the end -- introducing someone you've never heard from before, and pinning the crime on them. We all know that Sanford can do better - hopefully the next Prey book will live up to his potential...

Summary: A Big Disappointment
Review: I am a huge fan of Sanford's "Prey" series, but this one was a disappointment. Too many suspects (none too interesting) to keep track of or care about. This was definitely not the usual page-turner. Lucas seems to be losing his edge. I usually rush out for the next book when it's released. I haven't given up, but I'm going to wait next time.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: When I saw this book at the bookstore, I bought it immediately. I love the entire Prey series and could hardly wait for another one to come along. What a disappointment. I started to read it several times before I could get interested enough to finish it. Too many characters...too much jumping around...and Lucas was not his usual self in this one. I thought about reading it a second time just to see if I missed something the first time around but just couldn't bring myself to do so. I'm still a Lucas Davenport fan though.

Summary: Terrible, Terrible Book
Review: I have always awaited John Sanford's next book.How disappointing this book was! He has always kept readers intrigued with the plot. In this book he resorts to sensationlism to sell his book. If you are a reader who gets into a book for a real good plot, don't even pick this up.

Summary: Is this some kind of joke?
Review: Did John Sanford even write this book? It's awful. Where is the Lucas that I know and love? Where did he come up with all those annoying and distracting character names? I am a hard core Lucas fan and I did'nt even like him in this book much less care if he solved the crime. I also really missed the personal cat and mouse game Lucas usually plays with the villian.This book was a struggle to read and to think I wasted my money on hardcover when I could have had the new Deaver book instead!

Summary: Not even close to other Prey books!
Review: I've read all of John Sandfords books with special interest in the Prey series. This book felt like someone else wrote it. No suspense from beginning to end. Usually I can't put his books down, this time I wasn't excited about picking it up. Wasn't really sure what we were chasing at moments, not his normal suspense and terror. Even Davenport's affairs were lack-luster. I actually bought this one before release from Amazon. Next time I'll wait for the firesale to see if John is back on track. Barely 2.5 stars. I'll have to read the old Prey books while we await for the new release.

Summary: 'Prey' for it to end
Review: 'Prey' fans will be sorely disappointed in this outing. Not only is the story not Sanford's usual taught, suspenseful, page turner, it was a poorly constructed who-done-it. Gruesome murders, taunting notes, evil incarnate, these are the keys to Sanford's individual style of gripping fiction. Who-done-it? Who cared! Sorry John, you owe us for this one.

Summary: Not Bad...
Review: I always enjoy John Sandford's "Lucas Davenport" books. This one was ok; a little bit of a disappointment. Not the usual "Lucas." Hope the next one brings the old "Lucas" back!
Rating:
Summary: Somewhat Blah!
Review: This book is a nice easy read with some suspense, but nowhere near the other "Prey" novels. It seemed like a setup for a novel where Lucas" lovelife gets straightened out a bit..maybe the next novel has all his women in danger. It wasn't a bad read by any means, but I expected better.
Rating:
Summary: Don't even bother
Review: As an avowed fan of the "Prey" series, I borrowed this book with the utmost expectations. Previous installments have been reading highlights, especially in areas of marginal character development and plotting. This leaden tome fails on all fronts, from its total lack of characterization to its stupendously inane deus ex machina conclusion. Let's sincerely hope that the estimable Mr. Sandford regains his footing in the next of the series.
