1.Phantom Prey (Lucas Davenport Mysteries) by: John Sandford

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, ... Read More

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.

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.

Ordered as I have with 20 other books from amazon and this is a single mp-3 cd that does not play in my travelling vehicle !!!

Too bad they didn't qualify that when I ordered it and now I have to pay shipping to return.

I have read all of Kathy Reichs novels and can find pleasure in reading one of her books. They are not always a light read but they are still on the entertainment level. I did find the religion angle a new twist to her previous books. Her relationship is not what we all tune into her books for although it is a story line that you can follow in the backgound of all her books.

Have read all Michael Connelly's books and was really looking forward to this, his latest, featuring Harry Bosch. It is only at Chapter 32 - half way through- that Harry starts to appear on a regular basis. Up to this, he was only mentioned enough to let the reader know he was there somewhere in the distant background. Come on Michael, Harry is the STAR and should not be relegated to a bit-part. Perhaps things will improve in the last half - I hope so.

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.

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.
