First Family (Abridged) Audiobook

" Very enjoyable thriller. A page turner to the very end......... "

" A bit out of the realm of believe-ability---actually, way out of the realm. However, I love this series and the characters. "

" Another exciting book by David Baldacci!! I love all of his books, especially the King and Maxwell series. I hope there will be more in this series. "

" Very enjoyable for what it is. "

" Book 4 in the Sean King/Michelle Maxwell series. I'm a Baldacci fan, but his King/Maxwell series is not one of my favorites. While this book is a quick, fun summer read, I don't consider it one of Baldacci's better efforts. Way too much suspension of disbelief, some areas of lame prose I generally don't find with Baldacci, some predictable revelations, and a superfluous subplot about Michelle's childhood and her mother's death. It's one of those entertaining mind-candy books you read only once. "

" Like most of Baldacci's books, this is a page-turner. The plot is well-developed and it keeps your interest throughout the book. "

" Far-fetched detective page-turner, good airplane book. "

" Plot within a plot within a plot. A fun read with lots to tickle your brain. "

" Entertaining enough but not great "

" As always, kept my interest to the end. "

" Great addition to the Sean King & Michelle Maxwell storyline. Highly recommend reading if you have read their others. "

" A violent novel without much complexity or depth.. "

" The President of the United States has a hidden past. Can the First Lady keep it under wraps? This book started out very slow, but by the middle it picked up and although there were no surprises in the story I found it hard to put down. Quick, easy summer read. "

" A fun beach read that held my interest. "

" I enjoyed this book just as well as the others in the series. The author keeps you guessing right up until the end. "

" A good read-grips and holds the attention-from the capture of the little girl to the sorry revelations about the Firdst Lady anf her fixation with power. "

" It's Baldacci, of course, but I didn't enjoy this one as much as others, especially the Camel Club ones. "

" So far so good ... "

" I would have given this book 4 stars for originality and its absolute "readableness" but unfortunately the author rushes to a conclusion and one gets the feeling that he was thinking "enough already!". But nonetheless, a good read. "

" I'm listening to this one on cd..in my car. "

" Good book filled with intrigue. Enjoy Baldacci's writing. "

" Your basic airport novel murder mystery. If three and a half stars were an option I would do that. A good example of what it is, engaging, a "page-turner." "

" fast read. little confusion between Michelle's family situation and the reasoning behind Sam Quarry's actions. Guessing game. Little off. "

" This was a really good book and well worth reading. "

" Baldacci's "First Family" is a great ride. Philandering President w a cover all bets wife. Pure mind candy. "

" Baldacci never dissappoints me. Two good stories in one book. "

" this is the best of the SEAN KING AND MICHELLE MAXWELL novels. it invovles the kidnapping of the president's niece. very gripping and intricate. GOOD FICTION "

" I loved the story as I do most of his books. Intrigue in DC..I am sure it was not ALL fiction. "

" Lots of twists and turns. It kept me guessing throughout. I liked the characters that were also from a previous book. Good thriller. "

" Liked it a lot- very suspenseful at times but also some of the surprise plot twists are telegraphed a little too early and too transparently . A real good yarn nonetheless "

" Good story but sort of unbelievable. "

" Nice quick vacation read. Good series, but such a convoluted plot with an easily deduced secret was a little bit of a letdown. "

" David Baldacci makes a political setting appealing, interesting, and exciting, even to someone like me. "

" I loved this book. There was politics, romance, and ethical questions. In my opinion this isthe best book by Baldacci "

" I really like David Baldacci--hard to put down! This is a continuation of the Michelle and Sean stories. This time someone has kidnapped the First Lady's neice, murdered her sister-in-law and tried to kill Michelle. Lots of action, good writing--a great summer read "

" This was a book that is easy and fast to read. The ending and plot were very easy to figure out from the early part of the book. "

" Love baldacci books! This is the storyline that follows king and Maxwell, two former secret service agents. Baldacci is a smart writer and always ties ends together nicely. #bookaday "

" quite intriguing with lots of twists and turns. Aperfect kickoff to summer! "

" I hope our First family never become like this one. "

" Your basic poorly-edited, clichè, boy-aimed detective novel. Meh. Good for numbing your brain on holidays. "

" My first by this author, and while I'm not usually a fan of action and some of his main characters annoyed me by seeming unrealistic, i really enjoyed the twists and turns, the thrilling plot line and fast-paced writing. "

" This was a very interesting book that kept my attention. I liked the mystery and development of characters. Very little romance and no fantasy - which I normally love - but still very good. "

" Enjoyed this - started off slow but was really worth finishing. Will definitely look out for more "

" The President of the United States has a hidden past. Can the First Lady keep it under wraps? This book started out very slow, but by the middle it picked up and although there were no surprises in the story I found it hard to put down. Quick, easy summer read. "

" If you love suspense, this is a must read. From the very beginning it's a page turner. "

" good story which keeps moving. satisfying ending. "

" I like David Baldacci's novels because they are face-paced and interesting. First Family was no exception. This one had more than one twist. "

" I really love the characters that David Baldacci has created in Michelle Maxwell and Sean King, but I didn't enjoy this story line as much as I did Simple Genius. "
