The Inner Sanctum

Rating:
Summary: Three months
Review: This book took me close to three months to read it whereas usually I can finish a good book in a few days. I would go weeks without reading this. The only thing that kept me going is my stubborness that I finish every book I start, no matter how boring. After reading The Vulture Fund and The Takeover I eagerly looked forward to this book. Boy, was I disappointed. Save your money and your time.

Summary: Good read, but not his best
Review: This is an enjoyable book, although not Frey's best. This book will take you through many twists and turns in a fast paced action thriller. It's definitely worth reading, but don't get your hopes up too high -- especially if you are expecting a thriller to match his book The Takeover.

Summary: NEVER AGAIN WILL I READ ANOTHER STEPHEN FREY BOOK
Review: This is the third S. Frey book that I've read. Never again!! His plots are so lame they make Ludlum appear believable. Mid-20's IRS accountants taking on investment firms and thugs. Give me a break. I am glad I read this to remind me how bad these books are. The only book worse than Inner Sanctum was Vulture Fund. Sure, lenders and investors will sell hundreds of millions of dollars worth of NYC real estate cheap because of a terrorist threat. Get real.

Summary: drivel
Review: This is the WORST plot I have read in years! I am quitting it today after 98 pages, and I'm writing this review. The story is about a heroic, wonderful black Democrat senator from Maryland whose Senate seat is being stolen be evil Republicans. The Democrats have no money, but they are fine and honest - the Republicans are filthy rich and they're having people killed to steal this election. What a crock! I'll never buy another Stephen Frey novel, and I wish I had my money back for this one!

Summary: This book is pathetic, an immense waste of time
Review: Truman Capote once said "A writer goes through three stages: Learning his craft, producing his best work...and typing." We've seen it with Ludlum, King and others, Frey breaks new records by reaching the "typing" stage in his third book. Wholly unbelievable dialogue,stunningly obvious plot (especially for a "thriller"), lookalike character cliches, etc.

In a word? Boring.
