Loading... Body of Lies (2002)by Iris Johansen
None. Fast-paced and exciting. (  ) Cavluvr | Feb 23, 2013 |  I hate to give bad reviews, but this book was so predictable. The characters were flat and stiff as was the dialogue. I just didn't care about them or what they had to say. I had to suspend disbelief to get through the story. I just couldn't get into the reason the lead character was in so much danger. Johansen had a very twisted plot that put her in harms way, but I just didn't embrace it. I had the bad guy figured out almost immediately, so no surprise for me. I have 4 other Johansen books, but I think I'm going to cut her loose. Everyone can have a weak link, but I just have so many good books to read and I'm old. I don't have time to mess with mediocre writing. I give her 2 and a half stars because I did appreciate the feelings and exchanges the main character had with her missing and presumed dead daughter. That was the most honest writing in the whole book. (  ) DanaJean | Feb 3, 2010 | Well, that took me a long time to get to. It's a fair page-turner, but so much of it is unbelievable, illogical, and unlikely - and I guessed who the villain was way before the book's characters worked it out. I hadn't read Johansen's books before, and I won't especially be on the lookout for them. (  ) ffortsa | Dec 25, 2009 | Great book! I love this character and the story line, but this particular book was great because I never suspected the ending! A real page turner!! ( ) jlouise77 | Sep 8, 2009 | More dialogue than anything and not very good dialogue at that. If I had been told that Jane was twelve, then I would have thought her a mature adult.
