Rating:  Summary: Mind Blowing Review: John Sandford wrote an outstanding thriller. This book was the best cat and mouse book that I have ever read. Of the novels that are being made major motion pictures, Mind Prey should be a definite. With either Jason Patric or Matt Dillion Portraying Lucas Davenport.
Rating:  Summary: Acclaim for Sanford Review: John Sanford continues to impress us all with yet another gripping tale of psycological intrigue, murder and suspense. May Lucas Davenport live forever!!!
Rating:  Summary: Seventh in the Prey series Review: Lucas Davenport faces a new challenge in Mind Prey. He is not hunting a killer through clues left at a murder scene, but instead is trying to find a kidnapped family, who may still be alive.Davenport's fame helps him out because the killer cannot help but call him and challenge him to a duel of wits. Lucas and his team must unravel clues given by the kidnapper, as well as decide who would profit the most from the families death. If you have read the other Prey books, you will be happy to know that Lucas' love life is still cruising along in one-woman gear. I would also add a warning that, although Sandford does not describe the attacks in detail, the woman who is kidnapped is repeatedly raped and beaten. If that sort of thing disturbs you, you may want to skip this book. Read this book, and keep reading the Prey series.
Rating:  Summary: Prey series by John Sandford Review: Mind Prey one of many of the "Prey" series is a outstanding book. I have read every one of the series. The lead Lt.

Rating:  Summary: If you haven't read this series you have missed a treat! Review: Mind Prey was the very first "Prey" book I ever read. I picked it up in an airport and was instantly hooked. John Sandford has the rare ability to build "real" characters that are flawed but real - cruel but interesting - attractive but not cheesy. For those of us with kids - this particular book is savage! It starts with a guy fishing on a lake... and right then your nerves will start to fray - you know that something BAD is going to happen. Step in Lucas Davenport - Part detective, part game designer, part animal. This guy is about the best detective I have seen portrayed. He isn't Sherlock Holmes and He isn't Mike Hammer, but he is definitely a bit of both. One last thing - if you read one - be prepared to buy the rest!

Rating:  Summary: Great Stuff Review: More of the same. Great Stuff. Sandford has just the right knack for adding little details that make the story believable and fun. That is so great to find. Love the dialog. The characters are consistently developed. I'm so glad Sandford takes the time to get us in to the characters. And he seems to always pick a very small theme to follow through the book that just adds to the fun and adds believablity. The perpetrator line and the engagement ring in this one.
Rating:  Summary: good, but... Review: On one hand, this book was thrilling and intelligently written. Plus, there are some really interesting characters with great little quirks in their personalities. Davenport wrestling about how to propose to his girlfriend -- while he's on the trail of the psychopath -- was especially interesting. On the other hand, though, the repeated violence really made me nauseous after awhile, and left a bad aftertaste when I was finally finished. A good book, but I don't think I'll read another "Prey."
