Didn’t Like It “This is the second Brad Meltzer book I have read. Bought this book after having enjoyed reading "Dead Even", my first Brad Meltzer novel. This book however is a total disappointment.The book can be written in half the content; as much of the contents are dull and unnecessary. I nearly gave up...” see full review » see other reviews » |

“This book had an interesting premise, but took way to long to get there. The whole "conspiracy theory" surronding this book was interesting and in some cases really inventive. In others, it was slow and lacking in substance. I liked it enough to give him one more try.”

“This book is part political thriller, part suspense, part mystery. The book is written in mostly first person following the character of Wes Holloway, a presidential aide. Wes was seriously injured in an assassination attempt while the President's closest friend, Ron Boyle, was killed. But when Wes spots Boyle he begins to investigate and uncovers a trail of clues that include arcane codes written by Thomas Jefferson and Masonic history,

The book can be slow to read because of the involved plot and twists and turns it takes. But Meltzer keeps the chapters short ends them so you want to read on.”

“The title is deceiving. But I like the whole story. It's great. It's mysterious.

The characters are all full of character. They are imperfect, they have emotion, and while reading, Meltzer makes you feel like that character.”“This is the second Brad Meltzer book I have read. Bought this book after having enjoyed reading "Dead Even", my first Brad Meltzer novel. This book however is a total disappointment.The book can be written in half the content; as much of the contents are dull and unnecessary. I nearly gave up reading the book when I was nearly half way through. I have even skipped through all the chapters about the psychotic assassins Nico especially talking to himself and his religious beliefs which is really a waste of time reading. I later decided to just scan through Chapters 60-90 quickly and get to the end of the novel but still able to understand the story. Some of the content is not even accurate such as saying Malaysian PM also spoke in Cantonese. If Chinese dialect is been spoken by any Malaysian politician, it will only be in Mandarin as Malaysia unlike Hong Kong has not that many Cantonese Chinese. Most Chinese here are Hokkien speaking but will use the unifying Chinese dialect, Mandarin, for official purpose. I know that in the past, most Chinese in US also spoke Cantonese as they were migrants from Hong Kong.

I was planning to include Bred Melttzer as one of my favorites after reading his first book but this second book has changed my mind. ”
“Long, and full of suspense.”

“Apparent attempted assassination of President not what it seems. Aide who is wounded that day finds big conspiracy 7 years later.”

“It took much too long for the story to develop. You need a story to maintain tension and without a solid story early in the book there was no tension or mystery.”
