Book Reviews of State of the Union: A Thriller
Book Review: Publisher must have been desperate
Summary: 1 Stars
Take a catalog of tactical gear and weaponry (complete with gushing descriptions of brand names and specs). Wind around it the outline of a half-thought-out plot, people it with cardboard characters, toss in one or two short-lived but totally predictable plot twists, and you've got a Brad Thor novel. Complete and utter drek.
The biggest mystery in this book is how a writer of so little talent manages to get published anywhere outside "Soldier of Fortune."
Book Review: Really bad
Summary: 1 Stars
The creators of Scooby Doo have taken to writing action thrillers. One-dimensional, heavily stereotyped characters make their way through the world while just happening to always be in the right place at the right time with all the right equipment. If there was any more Deus ex machina in these novels, Thor would have to write himself in as a character. I am not a generally a critical reader, but I just had to put this one down.Book Review: Dont Waste Your Time Or 5 Dollars.
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this one for a quick vacation read. It looked like
the kind of book I like. This writer started out strong. Then each chapter got slower and slower and harder to read.
I actually quit wasting my time and gave up on it A first for me in 48 years!
This book should be required at Guatanamo for the terrorists.
Eccept it would be cruel and unusual punishment!
