Book Reviews of The Whole Truth
Book Review: Improbable Characters
Summary: 2 Stars
I like this author. His new book held me to the end, but I couldn't relate to the "super-sized" hero and the improbable story line. Some of his other books are much more entertaining. The plot in this book is weak.Book Review: Definitely a five star read
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this book tremendously, intelligent writing, interesting and intricate plot, excellent character development, and most of all, quite believable!
I highly recommend this one especially if you are an adventure-thriller fan. The way the various geographical events are tied in make for a fascinating reading.
Book Review: A Wild, Wonderful Book Ride
Summary: 5 Stars
This is what a thriller should be!
Enjoyment plus education--"The Whole Truth" brings you into the military arms world and the interesting new field of perception management (making "truth" for a wealthy client by manipulating the media, especially via the Internet).
In his recent bestseller (TWT), Baldacci serves a literary feast of:
1) fast-paced action around the Globe;
2) sharp, clever sentences like "Those experiences gave him armor for skin.";
3) Revenge served hot when the lover of Shaw (an elite anti-terrorist operator of the US Govt) is killed as collateral damage by the CEO of Ares Corporation, the maker of high-dollar military arms---Shaw begins his personal mission to collect the ultimate revenge. All the security a billionaire can afford cannot protect the CEO from the death sentence Shaw has given him.
Baldacci deserves five stars for TWT & I give it to him!
Book Review: Baldacci can do better
Summary: 2 Stars
I enjoyed The Whole Truth less than any book David Baldacci has written, and I have read most of his previous efforts. The story is is stretch in terms of believability and it is very slow to develop. If this is an effort to develop a Mitch Rapp(Vince Flynn) type character, it was a failure. Book Review: Really good read!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I always love his books and this one is no exception. I sent the last two to my husband in Iraq and told him to pass it on when he was done with it to whoever wanted it, and it made it all over the base. This one is going there too, in the next box. This is a book that I did not want to put down and was sad when it was over. Even if you have not read the last two, this is a prequel and stands alone without the others.
