Summary: Lucas's best Prey
Review: I have read the whole prey series and I belive this is my favorite. Sandfords usual fast pased, short and sweet writting style is at it's best here. The villian is at his worst. The element of mother and child ads more terror to an already terrifying situation. the final scenes are the most satisfying of the prey climaxes. Just finished "Secret Prey" another must read for prey fans I'm always sad when I finish a prey book but I can't stop reading. ....................keep em coming John!

Summary: Best of the prey series
Review: I have read this book twice and was just as interested the second time around.Lucas is one of the best detectives I have read.I get caught up in the stories and most of all the life of Lucas.I feel like I know him and am waiting for another book to see if he goes ahead with the wedding with Weather.Or what will happen with the two of them.I just saw the movie and am wondering how they can change Lucas so much.The story did follow the book pretty close but aI didn't like that Weather left him.That didn't happen in the book.I like Sanfords villians because they are the best of the worst.You never know what will happen because they have no consience.I have read all nine booksk,or at least all of them up to sudden prey.I hope sdanford keeps up the good work because I can't imagine not following Lucas.I want to see him and Weather have a life.

Summary: Great Book
Review: I love all of John Sandford's books. Lucas Davenport is a very believable character. His villians are the best of the bad. I really wonder when John's coming out with a new book.

Summary: The best series with the best character, Lucas Davenport
Review: I started out with the book "Night Prey". My friendand I were in school, when she told me to read this book when she wasdone. I read it within 36 hours, it was such a page-turner. I then found out that this book was just one in a series of "prey" books by John Sandford. I've read almost all of them, and I'm planning on buying "Certain Prey" from amazon.com soon. The best series that there is. John Sandford is definately my favorite author! He's created such a likable character in Lucas Davenport, and he definately knows how to add in unsuspecting twists and turns to every novel. If you like James Patterson's novels, you'll definately enjoy anything written by John Sandford.

Summary: Literary Crack
Review: I started reading Mind Prey last night. I finished today, ignoring family, friends, chores, hygiene, etc., in the process. If drugs are like this, I can see the attraction (I'm not advocating anyone test that theory, just get the next Davenport book and tune out the rest of the world for another day).This book, Sandford's seventh "Prey" mystery, deals with a psycho kidnapper and the games he plays (mental and otherwise) with Deputy Chief Lucas Davenport. If it were just the two of them in the battle of wits, the bad guy might have had a chance, but late in the game he recognizes that Davenport has more than just his uncanny intuition going for him: his crew is top-notch and he has some sharp women on his side, like Elle "Sister Mary Joseph" Kruger, Weather Karkinnen, and a newcomer known only as "Ice." The violence is not for the faint of heart or stomach and the language is frequently harsh (we do learn the difference, however, between profanity, obscenity and vulgarity, so the book is at least educational in that respect). In the context of the story it all makes sense and doesn't sink into exploitation, but if it's not your cup of tea (or martini glass of, well, martini) it will likely detract from the story too much for you to enjoy it. Sandford's imagery draws you into the story and keeps you there. The only times the book begins to drag are during long paragraphs of scene description (the train yard especially gets bogged down...and just when the race against time is at its peak). Thankfully this is kept to a minimum and - once we know where we are - the pace picks right back up again. A fast-paced thriller that is sure to please Sandford's fans, and earn him some new ones, even as it raises the question: "Why do the psychos like the Cities so much?"

Summary: the best
Review: I would rate Mind Prey as on par with Winter Prey as being the best in the series. In this installment, brilliant psychopath John Mail kidnaps his former psychiatrist and her two young daughters as vengeance for her part in having him committed to a mental hospital years before. Lucas Davenport is back and hot on Mail's trail. Mail, a gamer who knows of Lucas' history designing computer games, starts toying with his pursuer by leaving obscure clues as to his location. With the most original plot of all the "Prey" novels (as well as the most frightening and unpredictable villain), if you are new to the Prey series and you don't care about going in order, read this one before you even think about the others. The only thing I didn't like about this book was that sometimes Sandford would create completely unnecessary characters and make it seem like their purpose in the story was meaningful, but then you'd find out that it wasn't (like Ice, one of the programmers at Davenport Simulations).

Summary: Great "Cat & Mouse" type book.
Review: I've had this book sitting on the shelf for some time, and just found the time to read it. If I had known how good it was I would have made time sooner! This book will hold you from the first paragraph to the last. If you are a James Patterson fan give this book a try.

Summary: An amazing, excellent book!!
Review: John is an excellent writter. I have read all the "Prey" books prior to this one, and I'm having a difficult time deciding which one is the best! Every time I read the next book in the series, I think it is my favorite. If you haven't ever read his books, I highly recommend them!! If you enjoy suspense, murder, strong characters that are very well developed, and books that you just can't put down, then the "Prey" books are for you! Keep writing, John!
