Writng so bad I shuddered
I have a fairly high tolerance for pain when reading commercial fiction. But this book is so bad I couldn't go on and put it aside early on. Consider every element that makes a thriller good --- compelling characters, interesting plot, at least competent writing --- and this novel fails the test miserably.
Don't buy the book. Don't borrow it. And most advisedly don't read it!
Good book but torn in shipment
This is a very good book! I was disappointed with Amazon as the cover was torn when I received. I purchased this as a new book...
Scott Brick's performance should be a 10-star
This is my favorite David Baldacci title and Scott Brick's reading is superb. It is a must-hear, even after reading Split Second. The book is a page-turner and fantastic, but Brick's reading takes it beyond all expectations.
I may be a bit over-enthusiastic, but I think it deserves it. After listening to it from my local library, I borrowed the book and read it. I then purchased the book on CD so I could listen to it over again. It is one of those stories that can be revisited every year, at least it is my opinion.
And while the story is wonderful, it would not bear listening to again, had Scott Brick not been the best reader for the job. He creates voices that are distinctive and unusual for the various characters. Listen and enjoy.
