Book Reviews of Third Degree: A NovelBook Review: Not worth your time... Summary: 1 Starsand money...
Greg Iles manage to create its main characters that is very hard for you to root for. The female protagonist basically was a slut who cheated on her husband for months, and making every effort to hide it and lie about it. While the guy who she cheated for was a blue collar grease monkey who basically coached the slut how to avoid being caught, while screwing her silly. On the other spectrum, the husband was a pathetic character who doesn't know the first thing about getting even.
The author went at length...I mean really AT LENGTH...to glorify that grease monkey (a veteran who fought in Afghanitan) as a hero. By the middle of the story, the readers would have learn more about the army, marine and the Afghanistan than the Secreatary of States. The author's effort in trying to portray the colonel as a very responsible guy who think first about others before himself is ludicrous. And to depict the cheating wife as a good wife that put her family above herself is beyond asinine.
Skip this book if you can help it!
