Summary: disappointing
Review: Had Michael Connelly written this under a psuedonym I would have rated this higher because its a good book but Connelly usually writes great books. The characters did not engender sympathy, the plot was run of the mill and I found reading the book hard going - something I have never encountered with any of his other books. Hope the next one is better

Summary: Terrific!

Summary: 3 1/2 stars, good but.........
Review: Void moon is the story of a woman's pursuit of her dream after a shattering turn of events in her life. It is also the story of Las Vegas and the men who value money more than anything. It is a story of deceit and betrayal, of getting even and making it big. The technical aspects of this book were very interesting and the story is very fast paced, and takes unexpected turns faster than the Porsche boxster (read the book). The only problem with the story is that there are no "good guys", none! I have thoroughly enjoyed ALL of Connelly's other novels, this is the only one that I would only give 3 stars.

Summary: A good mystery
Review: I can recommend this book for anyone who likes a well developed mystery, tight writing, and reasonable character development. I also enjoyed the look behind the scenes at the Las Vegas Casinos. I also recomend "A Tourist in the Yucatan"

Summary: Very good mystery.
Review: Cassie Black is an ex-con who's worked hard to stay on the straight-and-narrow. But she has a dream that keeps her going. When that dream is threatened she quickly goes back to her old hot-prowler ways for the one score that will allow her to disappear and live her dream. But it falls apart and before long she finds herself pursued by Jack Karch, amoral trouble-shooter for the Las Vegas syndicate.Michael Connelly is an excellent writer. This book delves behind the scenes of Vegas casinos showing both the security measures and how they're circumvented by thieves. I found this fascinating. But it also shows us the complicated character of Cassie Black and Jack Karch. Neither are either all good or all bad which makes them very real. The pace is excellent as is the plot. My only complaint, and it is a minor one, is at the very end I felt left hanging. Since Cassie broke the law I was wondering how she was going to get away with it but the book stops short of supplying the answer. I still recommend this book highly anyway.

Summary: Nowhere near as good as his other books -- skip this one
Review: The title pretty much says it all. I should mention that a friend of mine who also reads Connelly LOVED this book.

Summary: Great storytelling!
Review: This is my first novel that I've read by Michael Connelly and it won't be my last. Fast paced, full of action, as I was reading it I could see it as a movie and it would be a kicking movie too! It did remind me of the movie, "Long Kiss Goodnight" slightly. Cassidy Black is our heroine and she is currently on parole. She ends up being lured back into business by an old accomplice who swears it's an easy target. Cassie ends up back in Vegas where her last job went bad; it ended up with her lover being thrown out a window on the top floor of the Cleopatra hotel. The new job takes her back to that scene. The job goes well, but the mark has too much money, about 2 million more than expected. From there this novel is on a roller coaster. Just try to hang on to the end, it's a fantastic ride!

Summary: Not Connelly's best
Review: If you're a Michael Connelly fan, Void Moon will be a real disappointment. Although the plot moves along at a fast pace, the characters are one dimensional and the story reads like a movie of the week. It's all very predictable with no real surprises.
Rating:
Summary: High tech thriller- as satisfying as a good cheeseburger!
Review: I won't belabor that all the "heroes" of Void Moon are theives or worse, what's terrific is that Connelly has made them likeable, fascinating, and complex. There's nothing to fault -the pacing, action, high tech details, compelling ambience, and great characters make for a slick, terrifically fun read. No redeeming morality here, but masterful plotting that's hard to put down.
