First of all let me tell you that this plot is not new. The movie "Wag the Dog" starring Dustin Hoffman has a fake war too.
The story is well written and fast paced so you'll have a good time reading it but it also has some blunders.

Spoiler:
If you haven't read the book don't read this:

The plot is a little far-fetched because I really don't think that Russia or China will start a war just for hearing some scuttlebutt and not checking the truth of it. I think that part is utterly false and wrong not to mention that everybody will use the same dealer to buy war-ware.

I'm a Reacher fan, but this is a reach too far. There's supposed to be some military checkpoint on a public highway that just gets ignored, and some town where everyone knows what's going on but word never gets out...
Ignore for a second the anti-Iraq propaganda. The scale is simply too large to be believable. This is a comic book, not a thriller. Two stars is is probably generous, but I like the hero and the action.

Sandford has his hero, Lucas Davenport, currently of the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, musing early that life is just chaotic, happenings that save, or take, lives. Weather, his wife and a medical doctor, believes in cause-and-effect. After a bloodily murderous story, Davenport convincingly restates his position, but in fact Sandford, the author, belies it by crafting a scintillating book that blinds one to the incredibly finely ordered plot lines.
This is a jewel of a book. It contains so artfully crafted a plot and set of characters you only see all the facets after the last chapter, looking back in awe at the smooth and so deceptive flow of words. There are Goths, domestics, big and little drug dealers, snitches, farmers, little old ladies, b---hy ladies, stage and sex actors, ghosts, ... Read More

I have read all Jonathan Kellerman books, and always enjoyed them, this time I lost interest completely and finished it skiping a lot of pages as I did not care the book at all. What happened to to Dr. Delaware character? What happened with his psychologist skills? Why was he doing Milo's work? Why is the book so boring? I already bought the Kellerman's latest book: Bones and I am really hoping not having another dissapointment.

This is one of the best books I have read this year!
The suspense and thrill ride Deaver provides is like none other.
The plot is fascinating and informative. The characters well developed, interesting and intriguing. This is the 8th Rhyme and Sachs novel Deaver has written and everything: plot, characters and writing are as fresh as ever.
Fantastic Read! Enjoy!

This book was lousy, just another in the long line of flops for Grisham. I miss the old style of great story telling, this was to slow, never really got my attention, I read a lot of other books, kept coming back to this one to finish, finally my wife said, just put it away. I did, save your money on this one. I'm still holding out for a great story to come along.

Okay here's is my very own thoughts. This book started out a bit interesting in the first two or three chapters. But then after that, then came the introduction of all these other different characters. This just completely lost me! The most annoying thing about this book is when the writer used all these strange words and acronyms such as KGB and the list goes on and on. I mean how does he expect the reader to understand some of the things written in this book? There were times when this book actually held my attention and other times where no matter what, it would just not keep me interested. The entire plot/storyline of this book became so, extremely confusing to the point where I just wanted to throw this book away or burn it. And I find this camp thing very childish. Here you have a story about some teens ... Read More

I know a lot of people gave Fearless Fourteen a bad review, but I thought it was just great! Another fun installment in the life of Stephanie Plum and her crazy friends. I love all of the Plum series and am currently in the process of reading the series again. I can't wait until June for #15...luckily I'll get my Evanovich fix in January with the arrival of Plum Spooky.
