The Zero Game

Rating:
Summary: Not Worthy of Meltzer
Review: I have really enjoyed other books by this author but this is beyond stupid! One chase after another described in detail for pages at a time. The plot could have been covered in one chapter. It goes on and on with little in the way of interesting detail. The worst read I have had in years!



Rating:
Summary: Fast paced Read
Review: The book starts off slowly and within the first 50 pages Meltzer sucks you in and never lets you go. Harris and Viv are running for their dear lives after Matthew dies and hARRIS discovers the game he was playing was in fact non at all.It wouldn't surprise me if this was made into a movie. This book is a perfect antidote to a weekend afternoon with nothing to do. The Zero Game is one of Meltzer's best books and even better than his last effort. (The Millionaires)

Summary: The Zero Game
Review: I have read and enjoyed all of Meltzer's books. I was looking forward to this one, but found it boring, boring, boring. What is it telling me? Why should I care? There was noting that I found entertaining about this book, and after the first 50 pages, I dumped it. Back to the consistently entertaining authors, like James Patterson,

Summary: My First Meltzer Read
Review: What a ride! Nothing that I expected. Meltzer has done a lot of research to come up with a great read in The Zero Game. I even learned something as well as was entertained. Good job Meltzer.

If you're looking for a different and exciting novel, read LUST OF THE FLESH by Beverly Rolyat. A story about district attorney, Nick Allapapalaus, who finds himself caught up in a web of lust, deceit, mystery, suspense, betrayal, murder and sex galore. Is he really the biological father of his ex-wife's promiscuous teenage daughter's infant son? Or has he been set up? A compelling, riveting, engaging, pageturning novel. Enjoy!

Summary: Fantastic Thriller, A Fun Read!
Review: No summary of the book here, if you want that, look at one of the other reviews.

This is the first Brad Meltzer book I have read. I could not put the book down...finished the 460 pages in two days. If you are a fan of John Grisham type thrillers, you will enjoy this book. I will be waiting for the movie to come out and reading some of Meltzer's other works.

Summary: You'll Have Zero Time for Anything Else Once Read 1st Page
Review: This is the second Meltzer novel I have read, the previous being The Millionaires and although that was great this is ten times better. Once you start this sensational thriller the fast pace and short chapters keep you turning pages until the end.

Working for congressmen, Harris and Matthew have discovered a secret thrilling game that is played inside Capitol Hill. Unimportant bills are bet upon to see if they will be passed or not. It is a secret game where they do not know any of the other players other than the person before them in the chain who brought them in. Matthew bets most of his life savings on what he knows will be a sure thing and paranoia makes him follow the page (courier) with deadly outcomes. Harris notices that his link to the game was also murdered and narrowly avoids an assassin named Janos who seems unstoppable. He is now on the run and enlists the help of a 17 year old page named Viv who isn't too happy when she learns of the danger he's put her in. Together they must uncover the secret of the bill which started this chain or events and expose it before they are both dead.
