Suddenly, her husband is killed in a fiery plane crash, and her life is shattered.

 Rating:  - Nelson DeMille influenceBeing cautious not to find a book that I wouldn't finish, I downloaded the electronic version from my library. My most favorite book in the world is Nelson DeMille's Charm School, and now David's Total Control shares that title. The 624 pages went FAST. This is a page turner that you just can't wait to find out what the next exciting action packed page has in store! I could not believe the extreme pace, multiple plot lines that were tied together and finally a finale worth the entire read. GIVE ...

His characters in this overlong novel are absurd - every one of them. The plot is way too convoluted. Just awful stuff - avoid at all costs. Rating:  - Colorful, literallyHave you ever seen anyone with a blood red face? How about whiter than paper? Green? Couldn't help but note these descriptions in Baldacci's novel. His or her face occasionally "reddened," "went pale," "reddened", "paled," "was eggshell pale," "white as a ghost," "carried a red sheen," "turned ashen," "was red with anger," "face flamed red," "was a shade of white," "turned a shade paler," "was now blood red," "flushed," "turned whiter than paper," "grew red," "froze," "went stone cold", "turned ... Read More Rating: - DUMB WASTE OF TIME...I read about 80 books a year, and this one was a TOTAL WASTE of time. The main character, Sydney Archer, is a blonde dingbat. Simpering and helpless one moment, she's Wonder Woman the next, demonstrating unbelievable prowess. A really annoying character, one begins to hope that the bad guy wins. The book goes all over the map with complicated interactions among a host of characters, but none of it is credible. Don't waste your time. Baldacci must have needed the money to write something this bad. Rating:  - Back on Track!!!This is more like it. A good exciting book that keeps on moving. It was not as good as Absolute Power but way better than The Winner. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys good non-stop excitment. |
