Escape Audiobook

" I actually gave up on this book about 3/4 of the way through. It was long and not engaging -- his normal characters were getting very limited face time, and the family members are really what drive most of his books. This one felt like it was written by another author using Tanenbaum's characters. "

" This was my first Tanenbaum book and I found it very confusing! Ther were at least 4 different plot lines from a court trial about a mother murdering her children to an Islamic terrorist plot. I wish he had just stuck with the trial as I found it very interesting!! "

" If you like fast moving, testosterone laden novels this is for you. Tanenbaum is really good in this novel and he has written a good one here. His cast of characters are a compelling as ever. It is a fast-paced thriller that is a fun if escapiis read. "

" As usual Tanenbaum gives a good story and holds ones interest. He also keeps his stories in line with the real world "

" I love this author. He has a twisted sense of humor. "

" somewhat wordy...complicated dual plots...but some excellent character developments and a twisting interconnection regarding what appeared to be different stories...moved infinitely faster over the last third of the book...did not fuel any enthusiasm for continued reading of this author... JLM "

" ok. too many wide spread threads merge to be believable but still readable. "

" love the old characters but plot was long and not as exciting "

" I wish it were possible to give books zero stars... Negative stars would be even better. "

" Horrible inclusion of Jihadists into a court room drama. Yuck. "

" Gave this one a good try, but, every time a character was introduced the author retold the history of that person's relationship to Butch Karp. I tired of reading sidebars that seemed only to interrupt the main story, and gave up after the first 100 pages. "

" great read as usual .... none of the good guys get hurt, you always learn something interesting (in this case, some Jewish history and some interesting history of Wall Street) and it keeps you amused. "

" I had read that this one was better than the last few, and I do agree, but I think it could have been 100-150 pages shorter and been even better. "

" The courtroom scenes are interesting to me. The family dynamics are interesting. He has gotten way too involved in middle eastern intrigue--six million characters. "

" It's been a long time since I read a paperback that was almost 700 pages long. I think there was just a little too much backstory, but otherwise a very good book "

" recommend this book to anyone who likes books that keep you guessing and interested. I liked it very much - "

" No. 20 of Butch & Marlene "

" not believable at all.... contrived, but always a good story teller. "

" Another good one by Tanenbaum. If you're a fan of Butch and Marlene, you'll enjoy this one. "

" I'm not sure why I bothered finishing this book. So disappointing. Earlier books in this series were great, but he no longer has a ghost writer and it really shows. Was there even an editor on this? "
