Legacy And Destiny

Summary: Not worth the time
Review: Having been given this book (I'm sure glad I didn't waste the money paying for it)and the prospect of a six hour flight in front of me, I read it. I did force myself through it for no other reason than the in-flight movie was even worse. What's even stranger is that I feel if I were to spend an inordinate amount of time reviewing this book, I probably would be giving an even greater effort than these authors gave in writing it. The simplistic dialogue, generalistic characterizations, and bland portrayals of all characters (not just the main ones) left any reader entirely unfulfilled. Furthermore, if this was a political speech trying to drive home a particular political opinion, it failed miserably.

Fortunately, when I pulled this book up on Amazon I found that its sales ranking was down in the "never likely to see the light of day" category. Maybe readers do actually understand?!

Review: I dont usally read alot of fiction, but this book came to my attention and i,am glad it did. It gave me a since of the political scene in america today...I also think this book was written at a great time cosidering Mrs.Clinton running for office.. The detail in which Mike and Dana wrote each scene and every stage of the book made for a great read....

Summary: Simplistic dreck
Review: I found this book to be highly disappointing. It is shoddily writen, and despite the potential of its subject matter, is ultimately just 250 pages of simplistic dreck, with vapid characterizations and really bad dialogue.

Summary: When's the next novel?
Review: I'm eagerly anticipating this duo's next novel. Their first was incredible. Very intelligent and fast paced. I enjoyed exploring the minds of the main characters and their complicated relationship. The authors exhibited detailed knowledge of intricate subject matter from aeronautical science to the inner workings of the American political system and used it to skillfully weave a thrilling mystery.

Review: Legacy and Destiny is a fine book, especially for a first book. Though it's billed as a political thriller, I found it dealt more with "realpolitik"--the down and dirty about the horse trading that can make or break candidates for political office in America. More than anything, though, I appreciated the care the authors gave to developing their main protagonists. Though some characters were somewhat two-dimensional, "Jack" and "Elizabeth," the book's heroes, were lovingly crafted and well developed.
