"It was a amazing read with a twist. The plot was fascinating too. When you read this, you are experiencing the events that makes you angry, regret, sad and happy to what was happening to the main character. It must be a must read."

" GREAT book, they should make it into a movie! I can't wait to read more of his. He is good. Happy Reading! "
— Kari, 2/17/2014" Loved the book. Am planning on reading more of his novels. "
— Roberta, 2/9/2014" This was a rather generic thriller, the only interest being in how two seemingly-separate narratives were eventually going to be connected. The one thing that really bugged me, however, was the author's overuse of exclamation points. I swear that every sentence or thought of the main character ended in an exclamation point. It really irked me, and seemed unnecessary in most of the places it was used. "
— Hilary, 2/5/2014" I read most of this book, well it was mostly speed-reading. I skipped parts. It was very well written, it told a coherent story with a decent plot. I can see how some people would find it very entertaining. Personally I didn't find the characters compelling or sympathetic enough to really care. It might just be me, but I think part of it at least is the book lacks depth. "
— Jack, 1/28/2014" Not surprisingly this book read a lot like a James Patterson book. The chapters were short and the book was a quick read. I now look forward to reading backlist titles from Andrew Gross. "
— Will, 1/27/2014" Great set-up & terrific follow through. A thriller you will want to read in one or two sittings. Andrew Gross is one of the most dependable suspense novelists working today. "
— Joe, 1/20/2014" Great book! Read in two days. Could not put it down. :) "
— Angela, 1/8/2014" Predictable, far fetched, etc. "
— Michael, 12/22/2013" Loved it!! Couldn't put it down! "
— Shannon, 12/18/2013" I read this book in less than 7 hours today...needless to say I could not put it down. Constant action and great characters! "
— Racheal, 12/14/2013" I really enjoyed reading this book. The plot kept me guessing and the action and the charactors were realistic. I recommend this book for action, adventure and suspense. "
— Miles, 12/9/2013" Very good from beginning to end "
— Heidi, 11/5/2013" Too cliche. And I was disappointed in his lack of researching the laws involved in one portion of the book. "
— Susan, 8/12/2013" Warning:Once this novel is in your hands please allow time to read it straight through, it is a barnburner.Action,suspense, this novel has it all. Andrew Gross proves once again that he is one of the elite authors of today! "
— Giovanni, 6/19/2013" 15 Seconds can not only tear a life apart as evidenced in the best thriller yet by Andrew Gross. It can, and will, also keep you up all night to see how Henry can possibly survive and save his daughter. "
— Nancy, 1/30/2013" Andrew gross is ok. But harlen Cohen n lee child r way better. "
— Sandy, 12/5/2012" It really is a page turner, simply written and easy to read. While it is derivative, possibly The Fugitive, it is also written in a style reminiscent of a roller coaster ride, you dip and rise all the time. I read it in 2 sittings, undemanding but entertaining. "
— Teryl, 11/8/2012" This was one of those stories that you have to "just go with it." The whole thing is ridiculous if you stop to think about it at all. A lunatic father sets up a well-to-do plastic surgeon. Thankfully it was a quick read, with just enough intrigue to keep my attention. "
— Rhonda, 9/19/2012" good book w/ a lot of action & suspense. "
— Dee, 9/14/2012" Bad writing, boring plot. "
— Meredith, 7/27/2012" Typical suspense/action book. A quick read and interesting, but also very predictable. "
— Faith, 7/15/2012" This is a good, fast-paced thriller that kept me turning the pages to find out how it all ended. "
