This is my first Lee Child book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I obviously don't have a point of reference for how this book compared to the others. All I know, is that it kept me engaged. It is well written and keeps the plot line moving and well-connected from one chapter to the other. Well worth the read.

Helpful Score: 1


I found this book to be very insightful and full of great advice. I would strongly recommend that to anyone who is going through a difficult time and looking to come out the other side a stronger, more balanced person. Losing a relationship hurts, but this book will indeed help you start over and find a loving relationship you deserve.

Enjoyed the writing and the plot. At the beginning, I was having some difficulty keeping the characters straight, but that worked itself out as it often does in good books.

Given the hype surrounding this book, I could only give it 3 stars. It was interesting to learn what it was like in prison, but did not a real compelling plot line. From what I understand, the HBO series sensationalizes the book significantly.

An interesting view inside a presidential campaign and the White House. Reggie Love is someone you would like to have a beer with and discuss a wide range of issues... or better yet, get invited to one of his pick-up basketball games. A worthwhile and interesting read.

Even though the book focuses on the real estate industry, there are clear implications for other professions and for life.

Good, but not a great book. Dragged at times for me. But then again, I'm a guy and maybe it just wasn't written for me.
