The Lion's Game

Rating:
Summary: Love the way he writes
Review: While the plot wasn't as exciting as Plum Island, I continue to enjoy the way DeMille writes. The inner monologue of the central character is hilarious. If the first few pages make you laugh, read the rest...

Summary: The Lion's Game
Review: Fun and enjoyable...I looked forward everyday on the train to see what was happening in the world of John Corey...very enjoyable. I did find it a little hard to believe with his romantic envolvement, it seemed to perfect and unrealistic...

Summary: This book might make Demille the Best!
Review: Demille's 'The Lion' picks up where Clancy leaves off. While this is a can't-put-it-down thriller that delivers a tour de force that pits a CIA-FBI-NYPD team against terrorism at it's worse, the beauty of this book can't be realized until the very last word is read. Demille forces the reader into participation BEYOND the book using a technique that has to be read to be appreciated. You might not agree with the ending, but it WILL make you think well into the evening and perhaps into the future. Don't miss this one.

Summary: A Very Good Read
Review: When John Corey figures out why Asad is on this mission he says, "I don't sympathize with the him, but I understand him." Exactly what I thought. This is a book of fiction, but there is more fact than fiction in the coming of terrorism to the United States.

Summary: consistant Nelson Demille
Review: I'm no stranger to Neslon Demille, but he is always one step ahead of where I think he is going. John Corey was a great character from plum island and continued right into the lions game with the same sense of humor and attitudes. I look forward to John corey's next move.

Summary: Research Required
Review: I enjoyed this book very much. Good action, good story and good pace. BUT, as usual, when it comes to air traffic control, it needed more research. When an aircraft loses its radio its called a NORDO aircraft. Meaning it has no rdo(the abbreviation for radio in atc). The whole accident procedure when the aircraft landed was also erred. Research is what this novel lacks and that is why people in the field of aviation and air traffic should read this with a grain of salt.

Summary: Wretched, Go-Nowhere book
Review: I stopped reading this book at page 300. There's almost no action - just talk about the action which might occur. It's difficult to believe that this is the same author who wrote so many other good books. Don't waste your money (not even on the paperback) - get it at the library.

Summary: Won't be my last book by DeMille
Review: This is the first time I read DeMille, but won't be the last! I found myself waking up during the night and reading chapter after chapter. Enjoyed John Corey's character and I found myself "laughing out loud" many times with his humor and politically incorrect answers. This is a masterful thriller that moves fast. Enjoyed this author so much I went today and purchased 4 of his past books. Hoping they are written as well.

Summary: The continuing saga of John Corey....
Review: I am new to Nelson Demille books, and chose to read Plum Island as my first. I was hooked to the realistic humour of his characters, immediately! When I learned that the main character John Corey was also the main character in this book I had to buy it. This book held up to the expectations that Plum Island delivered, right until the penultimate chapter, which was rushed and it felt that the author ran out of steam. Perhaps the story will be continued in another novel? However, even though the ending was not as exciting as the rest of the book, it was still a book that was very hard to put down. I am now buying Gold Coast and May Day and can't wait to read them!
