Pros: True to life information involved in book Cons: Can get a little difficult to read--a long read
I've just finished reading The Lion's Game by Nelson Demille. I think it is one of his best. His hero from Plum Island, John Corey makes his appearance and takes up where Plum Island left off, personally speaking for Det. Corey.
This is by far Nelson DeMille's best book yet. His sarcasm and wit kept me laughing all the time. I've been a fan of Nelson DeMille forever and his writing and story plots just keep getting better and better. The subjects are all current and it is...
Pros: Chilling story, great main characters Cons: Sags at the end
First of all, I am a big fan of Nelson DeMille. Ever since I read "Plum Island" a couple of years ago, I thoroughly enjoyed each of the four books that I read. When I heard that DeMille had come up with a sequel to "Plum Island", I was anxious...
Pros: Great action, breakneck speed, well-developed villain Cons: Longer than life itself
Nelson DeMille's "The Lion's Game" brings back John Corey, the former NYPD homicide detective DeMille introduced in "Plum Island." In the new book, Corey has been recuited for an elite inter-agency anti-terrorist unit, where he...
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: Another page turner Cons: There are a lot of pages
Nelson DeMille does it again! Not that I'm surprised.
The Loin's Game is a lengthy read, but well worth it!
From the first page, he grips you and brings you face to face with suspense and terror.
He manages to develop the scene and...
Pros: great thriller Cons: a little long, but worth every page
The name of this book and the cover caught my eye. I'm married to an airline pilot so the airplane tail on the cover grabbed my attention. Of course no amount of airplanes in a book can keep my attention if the book is crummy, but this book (all 677,...
Pros: A quick read, enjoyable characters Cons: Male oriented, not too complex.
I have to honestly admit that I haven't finished this book yet. I am about half way through it and already I can't seem to put it down. The storyline delivers interesting characters and suspenseful scenarios. I'm not entirely sure why I am writing a...
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: John Corey, good plot, hope at the end Cons: could be seen as prejudiced
LION"S GAME is my first Demille but it will not be my last. I am even looking for a copy of PLUM ISLAND which introduced the hero John Corey. this book is believable and the sardonic asides of the hero lighten what could be a heavy read.
Pros: Great use of humor, all to real premise Cons: Language a bit rough, a few too many "nick of times"
O.k., so any book that stars a terrorist and features hundreds of murder victims probably shouldn't provoke laughter. I have to say, though, that DeMille's use of humor in the character of John Corey kept me smiling throughout. The wisecracking Corey...
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: 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...
