Almost too realistic...

by ar_c , Aug 30 '00
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...

King of the fiction jungle!

by smhikida , May 12 '00
Pros: Plot twists, characterization, dialog.
Cons: Not great literature like Faulkner/Hemingway, but entertaining.
Okay, so the review title is kind of dorky. It caught your attention, right? Don't hold it against this book!

The Lion’s Game is another extremely entertaining book by Nelson DeMille, who has written such best sellers as Plum Island, The...

The Lion Stalks America

by rangerlover2 , Nov 29 '00
Pros: Exciting page turner, great plot
Cons: none
The irreverent John Corey who we first met in Plum Island is back in an encore performance in Nelson DeMille's latest novel The Lion's Game.

Two Thumbs OFF!

by wickengel , Jun 25 '00
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.

"The Lion’s Game" has become an...

This Lion needs to be caged

by phoenixdown , Aug 19 '00
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...

Wow - and this was written prior to 9/11

by flynnie , Jun 05 '02
Pros: Exciting, fast-moving, eye opening
Cons: Profanity
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...

A Fantastic Read

by aaronrubin , Jan 21 '00
Pros: Exciting, suspenseful, fast-paced, fun, action-packed
Cons: none
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...

A premonition of the terrorist attack!!

by dkarmol , Sep 12 '01
Pros: Tightly written, exciting, edge of your seat reading- like other DeMille books.

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...

Blood and guts on the street, and me without a spoon to eat

by rich2003dm , Mar 19 '01
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.

I don’t...

The Lion doesn't sleep tonite!

by Eyeroger , Mar 13 '00
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...

Didn't even want to sleep!

by cgskywalker , Apr 20 '00
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.

Mr. DeMille is a great storyteller...
