An American Killing (Nova Audio Books)

Rating:
Summary: Dreadful
Review: This is the worst book I have read in a long time, and I have read some turkeys. It gets one star only because that is the lowest rating the Amazon software allows; I would rather give it none. The author has a clunky awkward style; the characters are flat stilted cliches and the plot just meanders around in a vacuum. I gave this book a fair trial (188/360 pages) and simply could not read any more and threw it out. The author tries to be cynical about people (and People, the magazine) who drop others' names, but does the same thing herself. Don't be fooled by the Clinton connection trumpeted by the promoters; it's just made up and has little, if anything, to do with this book. This book is a dreadful monotonous tedious shapeless thing; how it ever found a publisher is a greater mystery than the one in the plot.

Summary: Humerous, but rambled at times
Review: This story was quite humerous. I thought the name dropping ( Clinton, Hillary etc. ) was a nice touch. It made the story seem more believable. I get tired of reading books that skirt around the President's or other well known people's names. My one objection to this book is that the author tended to ramble off the subject a bit too much. A little of that is okay, but too much tends to break the flow of the narrative.

Summary: The Political Thriller of the Summer
Review: Yeah, I know. Summer's over. Unfortunately, I didn't get all my summer reading done in the allotted three months. AN AMERICAN KILLING is the best book I've read this summer. It has everything: murder, mayhem, secrets, clues, deception, sex, drugs! (No rocknroll, I'm afraid.) There are even some political names dropped, which makes the book very timely, but it won't always be so. Read it now!
