First Counsel: Booktrack Edition Audiobook

" The last chapters were good. "

" I enjoyed the book. Meltzer doesn't build suspense, he jumps right in on page one and doesn't let up until its finished. I like that with each story he gives a little more insight into the workings of Washington DC and its politics. "

" A book that relies so much on snappy dialog is likely to irk me, I admit, but this one is really irritating. PEOPLE DON'T TALK LIKE THAT. "

" Great political thriller! Make you wonder what really goes on behind closed doors in DC. "

" Quite a nice thriller so far... "

" Another great Meltzer read, but not as good as The Tenth Justice. However, it did make me wonder about all the inner areas of the White House that we never hear about. I did not find it believable. "

" A real page-turner! Loved it and highly recommend it! "

" I thoroughly enjoyed this book. "

" Pretty quick read....definitely suspenseful. "

" Rambled on a bit too long, but overall a very good book. "

" OK, the ending wasn't quite what I hoped for, but it was a great read. Not too many bizarre plot twists, but enough to keep you on your toes. "

" This was the first Brad Meltzer book I've read. It was very slow moving and I almost put it down. The last few chapters kept my attention and I didn't want to put it down. :) "

" This mystery was a fairly good read. I didn't see the end coming as it did. "

" This one is garbage, but if you like garbage... "

" Awesome book. Highly recommend it, if you are into poilitics "

" I've never really been a fan of Brad Meltzer, but this was a page turner and one of his better efforts. "

" The first Brad Meltzer thriller that I read. A classic example of abrupt turns and twists in an intriguing plot narrated in a racy style. I enjoyed reading it and would recommend it to anyone who wants to read a thriller with a difference "

" I have enjoyed other Brad Meltzer books, but this one was not quite as strong as some of the others. It takes place a the White House and there are a lot of twists, but it takes quite a while before it really gets moving. "

" I will say I liked this book. I liked it, not loved it. Especially the end, that did it in for me. I stayed up till 2am to get to the end only for THAT to happen!? Suck. "

" My favorite of Meltzer's books until I read THE BOOK OF LIES. A super fun read about the first daughter and the trouble she gets into. "

" Awesome!!! You kept me hooked and led me down a dead-end alley (I suspected the wrong person), wow, I didn't see the ending coming until the last chapter when it was revealed!!! If all novels were like this, the Internet would just be a passing phase and books would still rule the earth!!!! "

" This was very slow to begin. I think the book could have been cut by at least 100 pages. In any case, once it got going it was a thriller, but the start up was so slow I almost gave up. "

" I really like this author. He is able to capture your attention and ,most of the time, your heart too, in his writing. He is a young writer and uses current slang. He can create many believable and dynamic characters. "

" Characters frustrated me, they would make stupid decisions which came back to wreack havoc in their lives. BUt I want to find out how it will end, so I'll stick it out. I enjoyed the reader, though. "

" Easy reading mystery that held my attention to the end. I found myself wanting to read more! "

" Kept me guessing the whole time and I had guessed wrong. Not a great book but a good "escape" book. "

" Very fast read - murder mystery in the White House, low-level attorney (who happens to have just started dating the First Daughter) scrambles to clear his name. The story was a bit melodramatic for my tastes, but it definitely kept my interest. Recommended for people who like John Grisham. "

" I absolutely loved this book...it kept me on edge at all times. A good book from start to finish, I highly recommend it. "

" Fun, but at the same time the main character annoyed me to no end. Seemed perennially stupid. On the plus side the character is well explored as are some of the other side characters which 'sort of' explains their behavior, though not always. "

" This was a really good, high-paced read. The lead character Michael was a really likable, if gullible guy. The ending sort of sucked, but it was realistic. It seemed to end too quickly though. "

" I enjoyed the book. Meltzer doesn't build suspense, he jumps right in on page one and doesn't let up until its finished. I like that with each story he gives a little more insight into the workings of Washington DC and its politics. "

" Personally, I'm not a big fan of lawyer-type books. However, this book was very engaging and the twists kept coming so fast, and so frequently that it was hard to put this book down! "

" The First Counsel is a book of intrigue and suspense. It is a very good work of fiction, I can't believe that it could actually happen, and is an entertaining book that keeps you on your toes as to who done it. All in all a good read. "

" This was a well written book by Meltzer and the first book I read by him. It was a fast paced book and got me interested in the book right away. The idea of a young lawyer dating the President's daughter was interesting. I was surprised at the ending, hope you will be too. "

" Kept me guessing the whole time and I had guessed wrong. Not a great book but a good "escape" book. "

" Awesome book. Highly recommend it, if you are into poilitics "

" Easy reading mystery that held my attention to the end. I found myself wanting to read more! "

" This was very slow to begin. I think the book could have been cut by at least 100 pages. In any case, once it got going it was a thriller, but the start up was so slow I almost gave up. "

" A book that relies so much on snappy dialog is likely to irk me, I admit, but this one is really irritating. PEOPLE DON'T TALK LIKE THAT. "

" Brad Meltzer has become my new favorite author. It combines a great plot, with fascinating characters and adds just the right amount oh humor. I think that Meltzer creates characters that everyone can relate to. His books tend to make me continue reading until I get to the end. "

" Well put together. An altogether good read. "

" Another solid suspenseful thriller from Brad Meltzer. I did guess the ending pretty early in the reading, though...which made the second half of the book drag a bit for me. "
