Book Reviews of The Collectors
Book Review: You have to give this one a chance, its worth it!
Summary: 4 Stars
I agree with the previous reviewer that you have to give this book a little time. Through the first half of the novel I was wondering how the two separate plots were ever going to come together in any realistic way!
On the one hand there is a death by seemingly natural causes of the head librarian of the Library of Congress, and the assassination of the speaker of the house. On the other is a con woman who is trying to job a crooked casino owner out of over 30 million! Like I said, you'll be questioning whether the author will ever be able to bring these plots together in any cohesive way. But Baldacci manages to do IT! The twists and surprises will leave you shaking your head and wondering why you did not see them coming! This book is highly recommend for light entertainment (think beach or plane book).
Book Review: fun fast pace read
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoy the book and really enjoy the crazy characters. It wasn't as good as "Simple Truth" or "The Winner", but still a fun read.Book Review: quick ending

Book Review: save your pennies
Summary: 1 Stars
There was a time when Baldacchi could be considered a fair writer, but judging from this turkey, he stayed too long at the fair. The characters, presumably intended to be "cute," are merely grating; the plots - two of them - don't come together, and the cliff hanger ending did nothing to make me want to buy another installment.
There are lots of good books out there, more deserving of your hard earned money.
