Rating: Summary: Absolutely the best Prey yet! Review: As an avid fan of the Prey series, I cannot compliment this book enough. I was totally engrossed and captivated by this story. These calculated and ruthless killers were amazing! I fell for this one hook, line and sinker. I appreciated the lack of a hot & heavy romance (or should I say sexual distraction) that had come to be an expectation with Lucas Davenport. Although he does dally with a smart cop near the end of the story, we don't get the sweaty details this time. I have a higher regard for Davenport after this book as well. I like where this character is going with his life and career. I can't wait to read Easy Prey (and the one after that, and the one after that, and the one after that... keep 'em coming, Sanford!).
Rating: Summary: B Minus...C Plus range. Review: With a complete suspension of disbelief this can be a pretty fun read. Give the author a lot of latitude in credulity department and enjoy. The two villainesses are almost cartoonish and stretch the imagination.This was my first "Prey" series read and I will take the advice of an earlier reviewer and read the initial entry. I liked Lucas Davenport and would like to fill in the blanks on him. The first hundred pages flew by and then it sputtered and sped up a couple of times. There was some great cop dialog and some interesting characters on Davenport's side of the law. Interesting twist on the cat and mouse genre. It's fun, but not too likely.
Rating: Summary: Minneapolis and Jaguars Review: I notice Pete Hautman's Joe Crow drives a Jag, as does Carmen Loan. Is that coincidence or do they like them in Minneapolis? (Carmen's never breaks down).This is an ingenious "noir" a story partly told from the point of view of the criminal that puts us on her side. The more cold-blooded murders she commits the more we find ourselves liking Clara Rinker. She's great character. This was my first John Sandford so I don't know if he uses her again. I'll certainly be checking and buying more Sandfords.
Rating: Summary: good plot,good story Review: until i picked up this book from my daughter, i was unaware of the prey series and the author. probobly will read more of the series as i found this work extremely well written and believable. some authors efforts are far-fetched concoctions but this worked. the book was a welcome relief from some of the drivel i have been reading.
Rating: Summary: Now THIS is a Sandford book! Review: The latest in John Sandfor's prey series has enough twists and turns, unexpected events and an unanticipated ending to make it very satifying to all readers who have followed this series. A good read.
Rating: Summary: Keep You Awake! Review: Twists and Turns, of the EVIL mind. My kind of MYSTERY.
Rating: Summary: Good Read! Review: As in all the "Prey" series, you can't turn the pages fast enough. Take the plunge. You'll enjoy it.
Rating: Summary: Too confusing Review: I didnt like this book so much. I use to love Davenport and in this book he was a blah character. The characters I just couldnt get into, they were "choppy" at best. This was not one of his greatest works. I love the Prey series but maybe Mr. Sanford is getting tired of it!
Rating: Summary: Hooked Review: This is the first book I have read by John Sandford and now I wish I hadn't because of the money I am going to spend buying the rest of his books.
Rating: Summary: Enticing Read Review: I, like many of the other reviewers, have read all of the other Prey novels. This one is easily the most memorable. It seems Mr. Sanford took a little different approach with this episode. Character interaction was a lot more appealing than some of the other books. The antagonists characters were very well defined, and I could almost like them. The plot is one that is not likely to happen. But, overall it makes for a very quick, and pleasureable yarn, different than the others. A great book in this genre, you'll enjoy it.
