First Daughter (Abridged): A McClure/Carson Novel Audiobook

" This book was a bit hard to get into but once I did I was hooked. Very entertaining and a touching story about the loss of an adult child and healing a broken marriage. "

" Can't give this one star. Did not really read it- the writing was so bad I gave up early and flipped to the end where I discovered the plot also hopelessly bad. Stay away! Save yourself. Many years ago I read several books by this guy and enjoyed them. That was when I was in college. Question is, was he always this bad or has he lost whatver talent he once had. I find it hard to beleive I had the bad taste to enjoy anything this awful even at age 20. But I am not willig to pick up an earlier book and find out! "

" Good read. The author has a knack for ending at just the right place so you can't stop reading. "

" The hero is a dyslexic ATF agent who is brought in to find the kidnapped daughter of the incoming President who also just happened to be his dead daughter's best friend. The story is told well and the characters are very well developed. The content deals with both the religious right and the more moderate area and is somewhat frightening in its political overtones. Jack McClure is an imperfect protagonist who is well worth learning more about. "

" This one was a well written book. While billed as a thriller, and packaged as a thriller that part of the story seems to fade to the background. The main portion of the story focuses on a dyslexic ATF agent that has ruined his marriage after the tragic death of his daughter. Would I be willing to try something else by Lustbader? Sure, I just hope that the next book by this author is not another mislabeled package such as this one. "

" Very good. Would like to read more of his books. Deals well and builds up relationships between people in a realistic way. "

" After reading Van Lustbader's Jason Bourne series I chose to read another of his books. This book, First Daughter is the first in a new series featuring Jack McClure. An interesting plot with a major turn at the end. "

" It was good, the ending seemed a bit random, with no background... just a quick surprise the reader..... "

" Mediocre at best "

" Just couldn't get into this book. It didn't hold my attention for very long. "

" Might read another of this author, but wasn't crazy about him. "

" Entertaining while driving. "

" I wanted to finish reading this book, as the opening scene definitely drew me in. However, the characters were a little predictable (most of them), the dialogue simplistic, and the political message a little heavy handed (maybe because I read it during the never ending election. "

" Despite a wonderful opening, First Daughter is too slow and just too silly- dyslexia does not give you the superpowers Lustbader thinks it does and people do not act like that. "

" Not sure if this book became a movie (Missing? with Liam Neeson) as the writer wrote the Jason Bourne series. Action packed and quite an entertaining thriller. "

" What I learned from this book: if you're dyslexic, you can communicate with dead people! Who knew?!!! "

" I was very surprisingly entertained by this book. I did not want to put it down! :) "

" The book began with much suspense and interest, but waned as we see-sawed from past to present, dealing with the main character and his growing up in a hard way. By two-thirds in, I was begging it to end, which it did, but seemed to speed through to an ending, just to say it was over. "

" Not one of the better van Lustbader books. Had to force myself to keep reading until the end. "

" I enjoy a real page turner and this is one! Great characters, fast action, good plot- what more can a mystery reader want?! "

" interested me enough to read the next book in the series. only thing that annoyed me was that lustbader kept referring to a special ability of jack mcclure but didn't really touch on it enough. still, it was a good read for me...kept me busy from the flight back from mardi gras :) "

" I'm almost done, but I think I'm throwing in the towel. What a lame book. I could care less what happens. "

" I only gave it 3 stars because I'm not an espionage fan. Don't really know why I picked it up..... I think Lustbader was thinking "screenplay" instead of novel. Would be a great screenplay.... "

" With the exception of the language, I thought this was one of Van Lustbader's best books. Kept my interest throughout with a couple of major twists at the end. Recommend to anyone who likes political intrigue--US vs. US and US vs. Russia "

" Complex intrigue, action packed, with fascinating science and technology added for intellectual stimulation. "

" I was tempted to abandon this book after about 60 pages. But I kept at it until I finished it. Wish I had gone with my first impression. The focus of the book seems somehow irrelevant to the overall background of the book. "

" The Last Snow isn’t your typical spy novel because it actually follows today’s politics quite closely. Reading it reminds me of what’s going on today with the current two political parties. Last Snow gives you pause to think about truth and untruths and what politics is really about. "

" Not as good as Ludlam,I liked First Daughter, but this one was lacking. "
