Another good one

This was the only book by baldacci I had not read. I waited for some time after seeing the movie as I wanted to be ready to absorb and enjoy. We know the book is usually better than the movie. Well, for me it did turn out that way. I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys politics, law and above all action. I will look forward as many others to his next book published.

A-"STAY UP ALL NITE PAGE-TURNER" !!

I am an avid reader, and I have several favorite authors-of whichDavid Balducci is now on the top of the list. This was the firstof his books that I have read, and I loved it. I read it in 2 days, as I could not put it down. The story is engrossing, and leaves the reader with that "one more chapter" feeling. I am definately going to read more of his books!!

Great read!

My first Baldacci novel, I was pleasantly surprised. Interesting story, and a real page-turner. I would highly recommend this book. I will definitely read some of his other books.

This is, without a doubt, the best book I have ever read.

I cannot say enough good things about this book. This is a story that grabs you from the first page and doesn't let go. I read it in 2 days, and I recommend it to everyone I know. This book has got it all - an unbelievably clever plot, characters you root for, bad guys, good guys, and just a tiny touch of romance. I LOVED THIS BOOK. Don't see the movie, it doesn't even BEGIN to do the book justice, and they eliminate one of the main characters, Jack, completely from the movie in order to make Clint Eastwood the hero. After reading this, I immediately delved into "Total Control" and "The Winner". David Baldacci does not disappoint. I have just this to say to him - PLEASE, PLEASE write another novel! I am a huge fan of John Grisham, Michael Crichton, John Sandford, and Richard North Patterson, but I have to say, David Baldacci blows them out of the water. I didn't want the book to end. This is one you CANNOT miss.
