Book Reviews of Easy Prey

Book Review: "Aw, Jeez", Mr. Sandford
Summary: 2 Stars

"Easy Prey" features a completely different Lucas Davenport... stumbling along, following wrong leads, confused about his personal relationships. He's having a few bad days, just like the author, John Sandford, certainly cannot have been up to his usual standards when he started this novel.

"Easy Prey" reads as lifeless as the main character seems to appear. The storyline is hard to follow, and even though I plowed patiently through the 400 pages, always expecting things to finally take shape, this book is a huge disappointment, right up to the weak ending. Even without having been part of a series, this novel wouldn't have worked.

The first five "Prey" novels are among the best thrillers I've ever read, the next couple fo Davenport instalments were OK, but "Easy Prey" falls terribly short of the mark. While Lucas Davenport used to be an ambigious, interesting character, his main role in this book is being half awake, mumbling "Aw Jeez" or "Ah man" all the time. I'm handing these words right back to the author, hoping for a new "Prey" that will rekindle the thrill.
