Reviews
My First Scudder Book.....
4By Jake 57......but won't be my last. Really enjoyed it. A fast read......now I need to see the movies.Mostly good
5By The bomb dignity mikeThe first half of the book is slow but once you see the words"I see we have a new player in the game" The book is addicting and you can't put it down.Meh. It's 2012 and no Internet
2By Droid9be prepared to suspend disbelief. book was written in 2012 but speaks of technology from the 70's and 80's. Does the author still type on a manual typewriter? Story line is below average at best.Good read
4By Arty32It was a good read. There were suspenseful moments, but there were also long moments also. It was predictable at times. I see all in all it was entertaining.my 2 cents
5By Abnfyrreally enjoyed this book and can not wait to see the movie even though i know it will have some changes. the story was very well paced and the characters were spot on.Average at best but very long winded.
3By Spencer,DThis book really should have been only about 300 pages. I found myself skimming through whole paragraphs and not really losing much. Somewhat predictable plot. Kept waiting for a twist or a turn- but never really came. If you want a book to put you to sleep at night, this might be the one.
