Rating:  Summary: WOW! Review: This was a cliff hanger......The language was awful and the details were graphic....... I liked the suspense....... The ending was terrific...
Rating:  Summary: 2 stars but could have been 5 Review: A captivating story from a gifted writer, but you'll wish that someone would have handed back the last draft and said "cut out 100 pages of the fluff".
Rating:  Summary: Horrible! Review: Generally, I love DeMille and have read almost all his books. I actually listened to Spencerville as a "book on tape" in the car, and found myself yelling at the characters because they were so incredibly stupid. (I'm sure the other drivers thought I was insane!)
Rating:  Summary: Boring but not the best Review: I thought that this book was very boring but it did keep you reading. Nelson Demille's best book so far has been the General's Daughter.
Rating:  Summary: Disappointing Review: After General's Daughter, Plum Island and the Gold Coast, I had to check the cover to make certain this was really written by DeMille. Steretypical characters and an unbelievable relationship between Annie and Keith. I'm putting this aside and hoping for better in Word of Honor and Charm School.
Rating:  Summary: By far not the best of Nelson DeMille's... Review: Compared with Plum Island and The General's Daughter, this book seemed to not even have been written by the same author. I only finished it because I kept hoping it'd get better. What wife would stay with a man like Cliff for 20 years? And the hippie couple -- what were they all about? Oh well, I'm still a DeMille fan, and I'm buying The Lion's Game in January 2000.
Rating:  Summary: Total entertainment Review: After this book, Demille became one of my favorite authors. This is a real thriller that I enjoyed a lot. I have only one word, terrific ! Mr Demille you are a genious
Rating:  Summary: Almost my favorite DeMille, Until the violence started Review: About half way through the book, I was ready to write Mr. DeMille to tell him how much I loved this book. I savored each memory that Keith Landry had of his history with Annie, and their courtship via letters over the last 25 years. I was prepared to pass the book along to all my friends and family. However, the sadistic violence at the end of the book completely unsettled me, and I cannot recommend the book to most people I know. Nelson DeMille is an excellent writer, but sometimes the descriptive violence is just over the top.
Rating:  Summary: One of Demille's very best reads. Review: With only one exception, which is now on order, I have read all of DeMille's books. I Would rate Spencerville as one of his very best and my personal favorite.
Rating:  Summary: very disappointed Review: I usually buy Nelson Demille's book without any hesitation. But Spencervile really disappointed me. Love story didn't suit him very well. I more like his other books like 'Chamb School', 'Plum Island'.
