Summary: Fast action thriller, a visual screen play in a book!!!
Review: Move over John Grisham fellow Mississippi writer John Miller has written a blockbuster first novel and unlike JG didn't have to buy his first copies! This novel is fast paced, action filled and visually descriptive like a screen play. If you are into twists and turns and flawed heros this book is for you. Wake up hollywood this one is a sure winner!!!!!

Summary: Grab your seat and hold on
Review: Sometimes a great chase book is a lot of fun and this book fills the bill. Your heart rate is up from cover to cover with a few twists at the end.
The evil protagonist relationship with his mother, however, is a bit of a bummer.. My impression was that the shock value was gratuitous. What's the point? To gain a "R" rating??
Can't we have good books without the gunk element. Without it, the book gets a 9 or 10.

Summary: A great read, twice even
Review: The Last Family was a delight. It is scary and even funny in places. You never know what is going to happen. Just when you think you have an easy pop up fly the sucker hits you in the back of your head. Not a dull moment or a poorly drawn character. I didn't want it to end

Summary: Once you start reading you won't be able to stop
Review: The story was griping from the first page. It takes you unto the characters lives, and just when you think you have something firured out everything changes. This may be the authors first book, I hope it won't be his last. My life was put on hold untill I turned the last page

Summary: A belated review
Review: The trend in fiction today seems to be in presenting protagonists who are morally flawed, sort of like Ishmael in MOBY DICK, who nonetheless rise above their shortcomings to persevere. This is what John Ramsey Miller has achieved in THE LAST FAMILY. While certainly not on a par with SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, this novel is certainly a cut or two above the standard fare within the thriller genre, with a high, original concept and one of the best baddies since Hannibal Lecter and Lyle Pointer. The ending, too, seemed telescoped, gotten over with, unsatisfying, which marred the whole book and largely invalidated what Mr. Miller had worked so hard to set up. The main problem I had while reading LAST FAMILY was that there was not one character in it that I liked. However, the book has one of the best closing lines I've ever read. I'll certainly give Mr. Miller's next book a chance.

Summary: Quirky Thriller , satisfies but has holes
Review: This book has the plot tension to be a great thriller, but falls short. The protagonist is not a likable person, who abandons his family. The book moves rapidly enough to keep your attention. But in the end leaves you feeling empty.
Rating: 
Summary: A quick, lame read
Review: This book is the stereotype of suspense thrillers, which should be read while watching television, as it doesn't justify your full attention. If John Grishim wrote a serial killer book, this would be it. A good read if you need a distraction or have a short attention span.

Summary: TEETH GRINDING
Review: This is a book on par with Silence of the Lambs. It is a roller coaster of a novel with real characters and a plot. As an ex DEA agent I have to say this one is right on as far as the authenticity is concerned. Miller is as good as any thriller writer to come down the pike

Summary: Lot of parts should be deleted or omitted.
Review: This is a somewhat talented writer, but should be more focused to the whole picture instead of blabbing around lot of unnecessary trivial and boring sentences. A good writer should know the art of how to objectively delete and erase his sentences. It's not necessary to put your whole manuscript into a book, that's why we need good editors to help achieving this. But I found that lot of the publishers should let go of mucho lousy editors who not only are sentences and paragraphy blind, but also lack of any proper logic training! We need editors who could really peruse between the lines and could perfect or nearly perfect a rough manuscript which may not be logic or concise enough somewhere in the manuscript, making a loose knitted story into a REASONABLE book is the basic job requirement of a smart editor. But regretfully, there are only few like this out there today. Thus made this book become a can-be-great-but-not-so-great one.

Summary: This was an okay read....
Review: This is a story of revenge. Six years ago, Paul Masterson set out to arrest someone, but things didn't turn out the way Paul thought. He was left 1/2 blind and his confidence ruined. The killer escaped from jail and wants revenge. He's not after Paul and the team that they were going to arrest, but the agants families. This isn't giving anything away. Shoot, this is from the back of the book. I found it down right funny at times on how the agents protected the last family. This was an OK read. I thought that Paul snapped out of his depression a bit to fast, and some of the things that the killer did was at times far fetched. None the less, this was an OK read. I suggest you look for it at libraries or a used book store. If you want to read some good books about a cop after a killer, I highly suggest you start reading the Prey series by John Sandford. That series starts with Rules of Prey. My favorites are Mind Prey, Eyes of Prey, Silent Prey. If you read The Last Family, you'll probally find parts of it you liked.
