I wanted to read “The Escape” of David Baldacci, but I realized it’s John Puller series which I never read earlier.Initially I felt bored on the way the introduction was given, and narration it started, slowly it picked up the pace. The way the Author left the reader with no idea of what is going...
This book is great. But I kept getting this deja vu feeling until I got it! King and Maxwell (the short lived TV series), the pilot is based on this book. I watched the show because I had read the books, but I had missed this one. I knew what was happening and who was who, but like all adapted bo...
Whizzed through this audio book - liked it and all the characters - even the bad guys and gals. Am a fan of David Baldacci's writing which I find smooth and clear. The action built up and kept my interest.Had to look back through my read books list and discovered I had read the first John Puller ...
Pros- nice paced action story-line, not to slow, not to fast- interesting subject, the plot is quite complicated but easy to digest- the plot is building and developing with some unexpected twists and turns- you'l find suspense, action, surprise twists, and much more- a very entertaining book if ...

This was a really good book. It really completes the whole series of the Cahills vs. Vespers. I would really compare this series to anyone who would like the mix between Percy Jackson, divergent, or the hunger games mixed together. Each book has differ authors so each book has a different prosp...
A good read but kind of spooky to think that things like this could actually happen. Another hokey Baldacci novel. Got the audio book at a garage sale, thankfully only paid $1.
I do like the camel club...just a bit on the 'superhero' side... Washington DC-Oliver Stone...suspenseful/conspiracy/government thriller...great DC thriller series!
Wonderful Loved this series by David Baldacci, wish there was more to come!
Extra gruesome for this weenie!! I didn't enjoy it quite as much as his other books, but it was still an entertaining read.
I greatly enjoyed and have deeply missed the Camel Club books, but Oliver Stone and the Camel Club are back in action in this short story by David Baldacci: "Bullseye: An Original Will Robie/ Camel Club Short Story." I am not usually a fan of short stories, but when I saw this was a Camel Club, ...
Listened to the audiobook, but it was great. International incident, smart villains and heroes, lots of action. I really enjoyed it.
Only Baldacci's fans can appreciate this book. I generally like his book for a quick read but this was sub-par. He has a certain pattern of writing and he generally sticks to it. Surprisingly this is written different till mid of the book. After which the story becomes pretty predicable and that ...
I enjoyed the book but was unrealistic. I didn't finish this book -- I quit after a few chapters. It is dull and depressing.
David Baldacci's Last Man Standing has elements of a good novel, but a couple of flaws -- and one in particular -- keep it from transcending mediocrity. Web London, a member of the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team, freezes during a mission and watches as his team is gunned down. While seeing a psychiatr...
Time Taken To Read - 2 daysBlurb From GoodreadsIn Washington, D.C, where power is everything and too few have too much of it, four highly eccentric men with mysterious pasts call themselves the Camel Club. Their mission: find out what's really going on behind the closed doors of America's leaders...
Well, I've said it before, I'm a sucker for mysteries/crime/thrillers. I always have been. While other people were soaking up Judy Blume, I firmly ignored the conversations between God and Margaret and stayed up all night reading The Pelican Brief and The Client. Now, there are two questions t...
Another freebie and just as bad as The Escape.Formula for Baldacci book:1. Tall, moody(= sensitive) male lead with a parent suffering dementia2. Tall, over-achieving brother 3. Pretty girl as sidekick and for occasional Mills&Boon moments4. Massive Bond-style conspiracy at the heart of a great U...
I stumbled across the book at a local Barnes and Nobles last year. Thought I’d give it a try, after reading the overview on the back cover. I was instantly drawn into the pages of this political thriller, which was expertly written by a man who is well versed in his craft. The author definitely d...
Some people follow sports teams, other people follow actors or rock bands. But me, I follow authors. And while some people fantasize about celebrities they’d like to dine with, I have a list of rock star authors I dream of interviewing.Recently, one of my dreams came true when David Baldacci agre...

Interesting story, wonder why I took so long to read it? Normally I can get through a Baldacci in 2 to 3 days at most. This story reminds me of Grisham's thrillers; The Pelican Brief and The Firm I think... This review is under construction...thank you for your patience! A plane crash in the ve...
This time King & Maxwell were involved with serial murders in their town, Wrightsburg, Virginia, while helping a lawyer friend (Harry) who had a client accused of robbery at Battles' residence. At first, the serial murders seemed to be copycat of works from infamous serial killers (The Zodiac, So...
As a fan of the TV show "King & Maxwell" that's based on the book series by David Baldacci - who serves as a consultant - I realized I'd never read any of the books despite the fact that Baldacci is a favorite author. So, with nothing else on my Kindle calling my name, I started this one that sta...
I knew as soon as I started this that it was soon to become one of my favorite Christmas reads. It combines three of my favorite things (trains, Christmas, and cheesy love stories), so how could it get any better? This has been sitting on my shelf for at least two years, and I still can’t figure ...
I am going to make this one short and sweet. I have never read anything by David Baldacci before as the only books I saw by him seemed to be legal-type books which I don't read much of. But after seeing Wish You Well on the shelf at the local library, it sounded like a book I could not pass ...
True Blue is a top-class legal thriller, and Baldacci ticks so many boxes that many other writers don’t even bother to consider. Set in two polar opposite worlds: the rich middle and upper classes of lawyers, police chiefs and millionaire philanthropists, and the scrape-off-your-shoe estates of j...
