A VERY slow go in the beginning, but fortunately picks up in the middle. If you are the type that likes Jane Austen's books more than the movie versions, read this book. If you like the movie versions better, maybe watch the movie instead. Can't say I've ever read a book quite like this one before. Saying anymore would probably give away too much, which is probably reason enough to read it.

It's John Grisha; you can't put it down. What more is there to say?

For anybody who believes the Bush administration lied us into war, this book will give you plenty of ammo supporting that argument. This is a historical book. Thirty years from now I can see young college students scratching their heads wondering "Why did we invade Iraq exactly?" This book will explain it wonderfully. Somehow, through what sources I don't know, Suskind allows the reader to be a fly on the wall in the offices of Washington, D.C., as Cheney and Bush and Tenet discuss big questions of national security. I almost felt like I wanted to keep this book around for future reference, but thought more good would come from sharing with others. Expect to take your time reading this one.

A real page-turner. Has a "sequel" that I haven't read. I suggest getting your hands on that one too, called "A Necessary Evil." Because this book kind of leaves you hanging at the end, which might frustrate some people.

Entertaining enough, but the dialogue among the characters was so silly and unnatural. I felt like I lost a few brain cells after reading this one. Good for a day at the beach.
