Pros: Easy to read style with a gripping story. Cons: Perhaps a bit too much language for some.
I've now read a number of Nelson Demille's books. I like his easy to follow style, distinct and colourful "good" and "bad guy" characters and most important the underlying history that creates a hostile world with an "US vs. Them" attitude. More on that ...
Pros: Interesting characters and an inside look at anti-terrorist and law enforcement practices. Cons: Dated from a historical viewpoint.
THE LION'S GAME, Nelson DeMille's best selling sequel to his previous best seller PLUM ISLAND reunites readers with his sarcastic and quintessentially New York detective John Corey. This novel, first released in 2000 and approximately 18 months before ...
Pros: Pure, fun-filled, mindless entertainment Cons: None, if you're looking for pure, fun-filled, mindless entertainment.
I’m often criticized by my peers (at least those that can read) because my choice of reading material runs to contemporary fiction, and in particular, crime, adventure, and science fiction novels. No rocket scientist is rich2003dm.
Pros: Thrilling, suspenseful, fast paced Cons: Contains significant amount of profanity
Written by Nelson DeMille, THE LION'S GAME has all the potential of being a great book.
Former NYPD cop, John Corey is now a member of the elite Anti-Terrorist Task force. As the story opens Corey, and other members of the team are awaiting...
Pros: Great suspense and dialogue; completely engaging read Cons: A bit long, and if language bothers you...well, don't read this book.
John Corey is a New York cop, assigned as a Special Contract Agent to the Anti-Terrorist Task Force (ATTF), Mideastern team. This, despite the fact that he knows little about the Middle East, and in fact has requested a transfer to the Irish Republican...
Pros: We begged and begged, and he delivered another John Corey novel. Cons: We want more!
John Corey is without a doubt, my favorite character anyone's written in a long time. He's loud, obnoxious, makes bad jokes, is smart, and solves crimes. That's only a short list of why I like him so much; at the end of that short list would be that...
Pros: Cat-and-Mouse suspense Cons: Shifting point of view seems to delay the action
Two summers ago, I got hooked on Nelson DeMille, and read three of his books in a short time. The strongest title, "Plum Island," held me until the last half of the last act, where I felt suddenly let down. But DeMille is a master of the macho...
Pros: John Corey as the hero...many other, see review Cons: No disembowlment in this one. and you really have to have read two previous books to fully get this one (if you call that a con)
I got this book as an early birthday present because I didn't want to pay for the hard cover and the paperback edition won't be coming out until November....I loved "Plum Island" and the other Demille books that read (see my other reviews) and...
Pros: Interesting plot and characters, good pacing Cons: Not enough surprises

Pros: Easy to read, interesting Cons: not always politically correct, violence
This book takes off from the first page and doesn't stop racing until you finish. I got this book from the library on Saturday afternoon and finished it on Monday night. I literally couldn't put it down.
Pros: Such a good plot Cons: I want to read more John Corey stories!!!
This is the best book that I have read in months. In this story, we see the return of John Corey, the main character from Plum Island, another Demille story. He is now a member of a task force in New York City called the ATTF.
The master of sarcasm and action, Nelson DeMille follows up "Plumb Island" with John Corey continuing as Special Contract Agent for the Federal Anti-Terrorist Task Force in "The Lion's Game". John Corey's challenge is to apprehend a...
Pros: Funny, John Corey back as main character Cons: Not buying romance
If you liked Plum Island you will Love this one. Ex-NYPD cop John Corey is back and is even more brash, sarcastic and funny than before. I actually laughed out loud several times at the jokes he tells through out the book (the one about lawyers and...
