So Foul

Revisado: 05-19-15

Clancy writes a great story but this one is so full of foul language and terms like Jap, Chink, etc. that I'm finding it difficult to overlook the ugliness and stay focused on the plot. Disappointed. Even though the plot is good I'm only giving it 3 stars.

Never a disappointment

Robotham is rapidly becoming one of my favorite authors. Do yourself a favor and start the series at the beginning so you can watch the characters develop.

Too little and too much

Revisado: 05-15-15

I have enjoyed the Peabody series until now. This is not in Egypt so the atmosphere is missing and WAY too much of the annoying child. Skip this one and move on to others in the series.

should have been written as non-fiction

Revisado: 08-03-14

Two thirds through with the story and I think DeMille could have just written it as his memoirs and skipped Susan and the "mystery". His Viet Nam scene descriptions make a powerful story on their own and didn't need the extra filler to make is sound like fiction...actually that just distracted from his war experiences. This book and others similar to it about Viet Nam should be required reading by all.

not worth your time

This is so far from believable as the main guy would make any military person laugh! Slow to start and went no where after it did. Once in a while you buy a dud...don't buy this one like I did.

BORING

Revisado: 02-02-13

If you want a manual on how to build an airplane and don't mind 3 or 4 acronyms in one sentence then this is for you. Very disappointing. 3 hours into it - I returned it. Had to rate the performance a 1 but actually that was the better part of the whole book.

Couldn't put it down

Great story and moved at lightening speed.

I gave a rather harsh review of The Charm School and can't go back to edit it so will comment here. The first third was not good (as mentioned in that review) however, the last 2 sections held my attention and at the end I can say I enjoyed it and am glad I didn't give up on it too early.

Disappointing

Revisado: 12-20-11

I have the Lion's Game and By the Rivers of Babylon so I was anticipating a fast moving spy story. Now am 1/3 into it and I'm sooooooooo tired of the "romance" that seems to take up hours with only a few minutes here and there of the story that could have been. De Mille should stay away from writing "love stories". He doesn't do it well. I'll probably listen to the whole darn thing as I don't have another credit for 2 weeks but will hesitate before buying another from this author.

not in the same league as Baldacci

Revisado: 09-21-11

Boring, trite and luckily was on sale for $4.95. Don't be taken in on the comparison to Baldacci.

more than awful

Revisado: 09-03-11

Tried listening to this book 2 different times and finally just have to accept I bought a dud. The plot appeared interesting but the author didn't make it work and the reader was soooooooooo bad it was enough for me to give up on People of the Book. Had to give it a 1 to post this rating but it's not even a 1 for the reader.
