Book Reviews of Divine Justice (Camel Club)
Book Review: An excellent wrap up
Summary: 4 Stars
Having read all the Camel Club books up to this point i was very much looking forward to reading this next chapter in the adventure of Oliver Stone and his team. I must say that i was not Disappointed in this book whatsoever. As a matter of fact i may have enjoyed this one more than several of the other books in this series.
This story takes a different turn than several of the other books and quickly gets out of the washington DC political spotlight that several of the other books have stuck with. For me this was a nice change. I enjoyed the twists and turns and in many cases i was left trying to guess what was going to happen next. I love books that keep me guessing.
Upon finishing this book i was left wondering if this was the last in the series.... I hope not. With that said, Kudos to you Mr. Baldacci for another great novel!
Book Review: Another Solid Camel Club Read
Summary: 4 Stars
David Baldacci once again does not disappoint with his book Divine Justice. An excellent continuation of the Camel Club series picks up right where the last book, Stone Cold, left off. The constant action and enjoyment of his books make them great reads every time.
Though many of his books can be read as a stand alone I suggest you refresh yourself with Stone Cold before reading Divine Justice. This book would be tough to follow if you did not know the development of Oliver Stone and his Came Club buddies. The entire series is great but you might be confused during much of this book if you don't have the background Baldacci's previous books provide.
The action never stalled from the first chapter while the end is as surprising as any of Baldacci's previous books. Be prepared for a thrill ride. I only wish this book would come out as a movie series, it would be excellent!
Book Review: Another enjoyable Camel Club effort
Summary: 4 Stars
Love Baldacci's books, and this latest Camel Club book did not disappoint. Enjoyed it very much. I would highly recommend reading the previous Camel Club book (Stone Cold) before picking this one up - it starts right where the prior book left off, and makes many references to the events that occurred in the prior book. Well-written, suspenseful, enjoyable. Much more enjoyable than Jeffrey Deaver's latest effort (The Bodies Left Behind). I will stick with Baldacci and Lee Child, thank you!Book Review: Another good Camel Club read.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the fourth in the Camel Club series. While any in the series stands on its own, it is a lot more fun if you start with the Camel Club and read them in order. Besides, the others are all in paperback. Maybe by the time you get to this, it will be as well. I normally don't buy fiction in hard cover, I did have a gift certificate, so I could indulge myself. This probably wasn't the best in the series, it was a great read. This ends in a way that it seems like the last in the series - but I've thought that before with other authors. Like Patterson's detective Cross or Cussler's Dirk Pitt, this is a fun read. When I had to travel around the country a lot, these are the kind of books that shortened a lot of long boring trips. With Divine Justice in hand, it shortened the wait at several doctors visits where the wait is always well past the appointment time. And if by chance there is another Camel Club formulating in Mr. Baldacci's mind, I'll be back at Amazon to order it.Book Review: Another good Camel Club thriller
Summary: 4 Stars
The fourth installment of the Camel Club series is a fast paced thriller that shows Baldacci's winning style. If you are a Baldacci fan, I can recommend this novel. If you are not a fan, you will be one after finishing Divine Justice. It is not the best novel of the series, but it is a high quality mystery nonetheless.
The heroes of The Camel Club return their latest adventure, one which may be their last. The action puts all of them into jeopardy, and they find themselves in a series of desperate situations. There is a nation wide manhunt for Oliver Stone, who flees to a small town, only to find himself immersed in anther dangerous mystery there.
The main characters, Oliver Stone and Joe Knox, are flawed but understandable characters, men who don't always do the right thing, but try to act according to their principles. You get to hear their thoughts as one hunts the other, and I found myself caring about both of them, even though they were headed for an inevitable show-down. This element heightens the tension in the story, and made it hard to put the book down. Making Stone seem sympathetic to new readers was a considerable feat for Baldacci, after his main character executes a US senator and the "Head of Intelligence" in the first chapter. Both men admit to themselves that they have broken laws along the way, and they are troubled individuals. The fact that they are often more threatened by their own people than by the bad guys makes the story difficult to put down.
In a rare moment of agreement with Publisher's Weekly, I must admit that this is not Balducci's best effort. Nevertheless, his characters are believable and sympathetic, the action never slows, and the book will hold your interest to the last page. Balducci's lesser novels are better than many author's best.
