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: 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.
Pros: exciting, great plot, lots of action Cons: poor ending
This book sent a chill up(and down) my spine. Not just from the action and tension that the book produced, but from the realism and details presented by the author.
Having spent some time in the intelligence field myself, I was shocked at the...
Pros: relevant thrilling thoughtful "a wake-up call" character-oriented Cons: that we might take this as "mere fiction"
Readers who survive DeMille’s laborious windup will be treated to an exhilarating scenario exhibiting the very essence of contemporary terrorism – and, more importantly, counter-terrorism.
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...
Nelson Demille has done it again!!!! Another fast paced, thrilling novel featuring the lead character from Plum Island, Detective John Corey. Demille has managed to combine both humor and suspense to create a book that really delivers. From the first...
This is an exciting, fast-moving book. It was written before the unfortunate tragedy of 9/11, yet this book has some eerie similarities. Could not put this book down, it had me hooked from the first page. In fact the very first chapter had me filled with...
Nelson DeMille has long been one of my favorite authors, with fabulous books like The Charm School, The Rivers of Babylon, and The Gold Coast. His last book, Plum Island, left me a bit disappointed. However, that was apparently a fluke, because The...
Pros: Tightly written, exciting, edge of your seat reading- like other DeMille books. Cons: none
When I first heard about the plane hitting the World Trade Center on my way into work in Washington, DC yesterday, this book that I recently read immediately came to mind.
The author, Nelson DeMille, weaves a fascinating plot about a young...
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: A great suspense novel. Cons: Obvious opening to a sequel.
From the minute I began this reading, I couldn't sleep till I had finished it. Having been somewhat disappointed after finishing "Plum Island" , I was pleasantly surprise to see in "The Game" that DeMille has returned to the style of...
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.
