Summary: I was expecting so little and I was pleasantly proven wrong.
Review: My previous experience with Ken Follett was "The Third Twin", I book I was not too pleased with. So, when I pulled out this book on tape and saw, to my dismay, that it was by the same author I was expecting garbage.
Boy, was I wrong. This is a fast-paced thriller with loads of office politics and just a touch of romance to keep the pot stirring. There were laugh out load moments, such as when Agent Maddox busts through her potential boyfriend's door.
Was the plot feasible? Doubtful. But, it was still interesting and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
The tape was very well-performed by Anthony Heald (perhaps best known as the Assistant Principal on Boston Public). five stars for him.

Summary: very interesting story
Review: THis is a slight departure from Follett's other books. It's not about a particular event in history, it's not a spy novel. To be honest, it reminds me of a James Patterson cat and mouse type of book from his earlier days.As usual, i won't give away any plot points other than a cop you can't help rooting for and a villain who you hate (but can sympathize with) match whits in a battle of high stakes! The method of crime employed by the villain is odd at first, but as the chapters go by, the characters and events suck the reader in pretty strongly. Definetly worth checking out.

Summary: One of Follett's best, I think
Review: I see this book has gotten quite a few negative reviews on this forum, but I really liked it. This, along with Jackdaws, I think are my two favorites of Follett's. I can't comment on either the realism of the earthquake scenario or the realism of the FBI office, but only experts will nitpick at that anyway. This was an exciting page turner with interesting characters & especially a villain you love to hate -- the evil psychopathic old hippie, Ricky aka Priest. If you are a Follett fan, definitely give this one a chance.

Summary: ho hum
Review: not follett at his best. the idea is good but the book didn't develop well-would've liked a slower buildup to let me get into the characters and that would've helped me accept where the story was going - very creative; but got there too fast.
