Rating: Summary: Twists and turns - an excellent read! Review: This book will not disappoint you! It's exciting, the characters are well developed, and the plot is intricate in a way that pleases without confusing. The writing is top notch throughout and I found myself looking forward to picking up where I had left off every time. In addition, the book is rather long, which in this case is a GOOD thing. This a an easy five stars in my opinion.
Rating: Summary: Cheesy but fun Review: I have mixed feelings about this book. On the plus side, this book really is a "page-turner," and I kept on reading and enjoying until the end. On the minus side, the plot is pretty unbelievable and I had to laugh out loud a few times at the ridiculous turns that it took.
If you like the kind of book where the protagonist gets caught up in a horrendous conspiracy, finds hot romance along the way, where every ten pages or so a bad guy with a silenced Glock pistol pops up and snuffs a minor character or three, then go for it. If, on the other hand, you like your thrillers to be highly believable, then this may not be the book for you.
Rating: Summary: Slow start - but then its a roller coaster! Review: I almost put this book down because it was going anywhere after the first 50 pages, but things picked up and for the next 675 pages it was one wild plot twist after another. It truly is a fun book to read, but I must warn you - don't get too attached to any of the characters because the author treats any and all of them as expendable.
It involves a man who sees his father's killer at a Paris cafe and his pursuit of the man brings him ito contact with an Interpol investigation of an entirely set of unrelated crimes (or so it seems...)
Good pacing, after the first 50 pages. The end was a bit disappointing, but just about any ending would have been after all of this adventure.
Rating: Summary: One hell of a thriller Review: "OH MY GOD" were the worlds i said as this book fell out of my hands when i read the closing line. this book owned my life for 5 days where i would do little more than sit and read. anyone who loves thrillers, conspiracys, or "take over the world" plots needs to read this book. This book has you going from beginning to end, and not until the last line do you finally have the privelage of knowing the truth, and what a truth it is........
Rating: Summary: What a Ride! Review: The book was different from many other thrillers because the "good guy" turns out to be the evil doctor who killed thousands of people, only to get himself in a position where he could kill one hundred "really bad guys" 40 years after the killing began. Confused? The book kind of does that to you. The author introduced far too many characters who were not realistic. Would a man really cut off his lower legs, just to wear different prosthetics to change costumes? Would a assassin really slit her own throat to get away from a stressed out medical intern? Would a really dumb physical therapist fall madly in love with a man she knew for only a few days, after he drugged her and let an old man sleep with her while she was passed out? Would a tourist from the US joke to another American stranger, with a gun in his beltline, about who he was going to kill? The other annoying thing was the head in the box. Did cryogenics labs from 1945 (if there were any) provide perfect containers for a severed head, which could stand the test of time? This book would have been better predicting DNA and cloning instead of saving the heads of old guys. Wouldn't a 100+ year-old head look kinda weird on the body of a 24 year old adonis? If you want to kill a week or so reading a stretch of anyone's imagination, go ahead. If not skip it and read one of the classics.
