Rating: Summary: Connellys first DUD Review: This is a very boring book. I read it just 2weeks ago and Ican't even remember what it was about.I have read all his books except "The Poet" and this was THE ONLY DUD. "Trunk Music" is his best.

Rating: Summary: EXCELLENT. One of my favorite Connelly novels. Review: Connelly is new to me so I had no idea what to expect. Immediately I was hooked. The cop stuff was so accurate. I had great empathy for the lead character. A man that you found that could not let go. And Connelly gave you enough information to at least solve part of the plot if not all, but I couldn't or wouldn't take the time to think about it because I just had to turn the page to find the easy answer. I find myself a reasonably tough critic, and this folks is a keeper. Also read the reviews on Steiger's 'Alien Rapture', the best I've read in years.
Rating: Summary: medically inaccurate, but entertaining & quick read Review: Shame on the author for not checking out the medical details;as a heart transplant physician who likes to unwind by reading fiction, I got this from a patient ----no, transplant patients don't have to wait a year to drive, and biopsies are not taken from the carotid artery of the neck---despite this, it was a fun book to read

Rating: Summary: Excellently constructed, great thriller Review: This thriller was different from others because of one thing -the protagonist is a heart transplant receipient. What a great point of view to use. The story was griping, and well-written. Keep up the good work

Rating: Summary: A great introduction to Connelly by way of a briliant plot. Review: My first read of a Michael Connelly novel will undoubtedly notbe my last. The plot is creatively interwoven with intricate details and sub-plots which culminate sadly in a somewhat rushed finale. Nevertheless, an interesting read which has prompted me to start at the beginning with " The Black Echo".

Rating: Summary: Interesting read Review: This is a well written, exciting book. Lots of small detailsget wrapped up nicely in the end, however I thought that the ending itself could have been better. It seemed as though the bad guy was tracked down a little too easily. Overall, a very good book that I would recommend.
