Book Reviews of The Whole Truth
Book Review: Another Great Novel
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought I had read the best possible books with Baldacci's last 3 books but he haas topped them all with the Whole Truth. He builds the suspense to the boiling point and then in the middle of the book he breaks your heart with an execution. He then rebuilds the suspense to the ultimate ending. A truely great story told by a fantastic story teller. Well worth the time to read it.

Book Review: Another Winner for Baldacci.
Summary: 5 Stars
As an avid reader of Baldacci's works, I have enjoyed all his creations. His latest is definitely one of his best. It grabs you from the start and keeps the action moving until the very last pages. I would love to see this one hit the big screen. I'm sure it would be a hit there also. If you liked any of his past works (or even heard of them) buy this. You won't be disappointed.Book Review: Another great novel from Baldacci.
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book a week before it came out a boy did I love it. I happen to be a fan of Baldacci after reading his Camel Club novels which were brilliant
at least the first and second sequel. What this novel has is great caracters and impeccable pacing. I found it very hard to put it down. If you love Baldacci this is the one to own. In my opinion this one is the best one he wrote so far.
Book Review: Another tautly plotted page-turner
Summary: 5 Stars
Suppose you have just learned that a terrible massacre has taken place in, say, a remote region of the former Soviet Union. Chaos has ensued, and citizens the world over feverishly speculate on the forces behind it - Al Queda? The CIA? Mossad? Would you question the veracity of the news? What if the event was fabricated by forces unknown? How would you know?
If managing the public's perception of events seems farfetched, consider this: In April 2008, the Pentagon was forced to admit that since 2002, it had engaged in a campaign to generate favorable media coverage of the administration's wartime performance by cultivating retired senior military officers to serve as analysts. In thousands of t.v. and radio appearances, many of these analysts - armed with talking points from the Pentagon - spouted the Administration's views on Iraq, Afghanistan, detainee issues and terrorism, even when the analysts suspected the information was false or inflated. (Internal Pentagon documents called the analysts "message force multipliers" who could be counted on to deliver the administration's messages.) In return, these analysts - most of whom have ties to military contractors - were given access to classified information. How many among us questioned their statements? To what extent does the Pentagon "manage" our perceptions about the war on terrorism?
In his latest tautly plotted page-turner, rife with well-formed characters and non-stop action, David Baldacci forces us to think about perception versus reality, and to consider the consequences of failing to distinguish between the two. Given that news of the Pentagon's perception management efforts came to light just as The Whole Truth was published, you have to wonder if maybe Baldacci knows something that the rest of us don't.
Book Review: Awesome Read
Summary: 5 Stars
Loved this book. It's been a long time since I've read Baldacci as I was getting a bit tired of his latest novels. I truly enjoyed this.
