Yet another early reviewer book that just didn't catch my interest.

Yawn. Read it through most of the book and found it predictable and contrived. Wasn't too comfortable with the level of preaching either.

I tried to read this book through to the end, I really did. But, after three attempts of not really getting into it, I just finally gave up.

I've read other books by Patterson, this one is on par, if not a little better. Good plot twists, good character development. Patterson gets it right with Army tradition and honor. Interestingly, I actually guessed the ending halfway through (no spoilers here), so I wasn't surprised. Otherwise, a good read.

It started slow, but built up masterfully. There were several main characters, each developed with good background and detail, I was rooting for each one to succeed. Slight predictability in some parts, left me with a question at the end. I thought it was solved, but not so fast. I really enjoyed the book, I look forward to more by Rotenberg.

This was one of those books that I started and stopped several times, just couldn't get into it. However, I made an effort to continue on and was pleasantly surprised. It was the best read, there are already many other books out there that are in the same genre. The action was pretty good, and the plot moved along at a good pace. The characters were tough to get into, none really grabbed me. I wasn't sure who was the main character, since it shifted around for the character focus. I'd recommend this, but, it's just an average book.

Eh. This book never caught my attention at all. I started several times, but, just couldn't get into it. The premise was convoluted and the beginning was just not that much of an attention-grabber.

At first, I thought I was reading a combination of Women's Murder Club and Alex Cross novels. Everything met those formulas (is every woman detective dating/engaged to an FBI behavior unit/profiler?!?). After I got over that, the book flowed pretty good. A quick read, good for the plane or bus. I'll read the rest of the series to check it out.

A decent book, not quite what I was expecting, but still suspenseful and intriguing. Parts were a little slow or unnecessary, but it worked overall as a whole. Would definitely recommend as a read (passed the book on to a friend).

Very informative, but, I had to start keeping a flowchart just to keep track of who were friends, who were enemies, who were friends but became enemies, who owned what company or holding group, etc. You get the message. At times, it felt like it skipped around, that the author forgot to mention something earlier, felt it had to be brought up, then went on a tangent about that topic before coming back to the original thread.

This isn't a book I would normally read, not my genre. Having said that, I was drawn into the story in the first page, wanting to learn more about Justo with the one arm. Brilliantly written. At times, I had a tear in my eye, or a chuckle, or an outright laugh at the antics. Boling has written a story that conveys the tragedy that occurred, but also raised hopes that things can, over time, get better, that a people can be resilient. I would not be surprised if this becomes a mini-series or movie. I would definitely go to see it.

Disappointing. I read three chapters, felt like they were all the same. I slept, I did this, I feel this. There may have been more to the book, but, after three chapters, I had to stop.

Good book, but very predictable towards the middle of the book. The antagonist and the ending was pretty much telegraphed halfway through the book. Other than that, though, the book was good, characters were well fleshed out and the plot was engaging.

Not the best of the Cat Who series. Slow to start, very little sleuthing by Q, very few clues provided by the cats. In the end, the mystery solved itself. Other books have been better, just not impressed with this one.

My children liked reading this book. The funny comment my son (9 years old) made was that a book about going green wasn't printed on recycled paper using soy ink. He had a problem with that part of it. My 7 year old daughter did the reading to my 4 year old daughter, so she had fun with the rhyming. Honestly, I didn't read it until afterwards (they found and read the book before I could get to it), so, when I did read it, I was not happy with the commercialism or dictatorial tone. I give it a one star, my children a three. So, to split the difference, 2 stars.

I liked this book, I just wish it didn't end so soon. I was also hoping for more, tell me what happened afterwards. Hopefully, there is a sequel coming. Great book.

An okay book, but not believable in any sense, even for a thriller. A gemologist who is also a quasi-James Bond type of character. Sorry, couldn't buy it. Otherwise, okay read.

Good premise, but the continual preaching began to wear on me. Definitely stretches reality at times, but it was enjoyable to read.

Eh. Nothing caught my interest in this one.

Very slow going to start, nothing really made me want to continue with the book. Wound up not finishing the book and passed it along to someone else.

I liked this book, I look forward to more from Hurwitz. Catchy and, even though I could see where the ending was going, I just wasn't sure. That doubt made me want to finish the book to find out what happens. Good book.

I started the book three times, just couldn't get into it for some reason. I'm sure von Ditfurth is a great author, but this book didn't do it for me. Sorry.

I was initially pleased to get this book on the Early Reviewers, especially since I am a Gulf War Navy vet who has suffered from some of the symptoms of GWS. However, I was sorely disappointed in the story and wound up stopping about half-way through (and I normally read everything).
The characters are wooden and somewhat unbelievable for me. The story dragged on for a while without getting anywhere.
Honestly, this should have been promoted as a romance with a backdrop of Gulf War veteran issues instead.
Very disappointed.

For his first run at a mystery, McGilloway hit a home run. Inspector Devlin has plenty of faults, but still has the brains and courage to solve the difficult crime. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, will definitely look for the second in the series.

I get the feeling this book was written in a hurry, hence, the title. Almost no character development, everyone is like a prop inserted to keep the story going. Even the main character feels wooden. Definitely not one of his better books.

I'm not sure if Patterson is getting tired of writing (or just not paying too much attention to what his co-writer is writing), but this book didn't grab me like the others in the Women's Murder Club series. Don't get me wrong, it was a good book, just not one of his better stories. The story seemed rushed and almost accidental in how it moved along.

This great work of literature first came to my attention as an assignment in high school, twenty years ago. Unlike others in my class, I actually enjoyed reading the book, gaining a new understanding of the importance of excellence and self-worth.
Since high school, I've read The Fountainhead at least 10 times, always getting something new each time. Ayn Rand does get rather wordy in her speeches by her protaganists, but they are deep.

To those that expect a simple book about architecture, don't bother. Ayn Rand makes no bones that she wrote her books as a means of espousing her philosophy as an anti-thesis to communism and socialism. Even if you don't agree fully with all of the aspects of objectivism, there are elements that are meaningful and essential for self-respect and self-worth.

This is the first book I've read by Matthew Reilly, and I must say, I was disappointed. Character development was shallow, action was quick, but there were more plot holes and "yeah, right's" than other similar style books I've read in the past.

The scenario is intriguing, but the end result was below par. I'll check out some of Reilly's other works, but 7 Deadly Wonders left me unsatisfied. If you just want a quick read or, as I call it, "junk food for the mind", then check it out. But, don't expect anything deep or memorable.
