Liars & Thieves Audiobook

" Really 3.5 stars. I wish I'd read this book before the Coonts I read earlier this year, because this one was sooo much better. Now I understand why I should care who Tommy and Jake are, too. Of course, the whole thing is completely implausible, but it's a fun ride/read nonetheless. "

" Trashy novels for guys, and this is the best at it. Carmellini is likable, flawed, fast and deadly. Fun and fast paced read, perhaps beach book for guys is just as cliched a term. "

" An action filled book. There are twists and turns to this story, plots that are very convincing. "

" Wow! Tommy Carmellini is a fun guy! He's been in prison, but the CIA saw they could use him. He likes his job! Now...he's caught in the middle. Good guy? Bad guy? Fun and fast! "

" This audiobook was a lot of fun, mostly narrated by the character of Tommy Carmelini, a decidedly bad boy hero working for the CIA. Sex and violence happens but not explicitly and there are plenty of plot twists and turns. "

" i enjoyed how the cia is corupt and destroyed this guys life in ways and how he is frame and trys to survive and with is amazing tapping in skills it allows him to learn about the truth "

" I enjoy Stephen Coonts' action thrillers involving Jake Grafton and flying a lot more than his political thrillers involving Tommy Carmellini. Sure, Grafton is a minor character in this book, but the main character is Carmellini. "

" In spite of myself, I like the crass lead character. Language is a factor, and sexual descriptions I could do without. But, the action is good if you can get past those annoyances. "

" Find a Stephen Coonts book. Read about Carminelinni. And have a good time "

" Easy and entertaining. Carmellini is an interesting character. He appears in several books in the Jake Grafton series, which lead up to the events in his series. "

" An excellent, mindless, escape. The literary equivalent of empty carbs. Wouldn't really recommend it, unless someone is looking for something that won't challenge them or make them think. "

" Finished this one shortly after my dad died, so I don't remember much about it, but I was interested in it before the world turned upside down. "

" Another CIA betrayal - Russians and White House involvement - unexplained events which suggest leaked intelligence but no revelations until late in the book. Readable on a lazy day. "

" Read the book in one 6 hour travel period from my Denver to the East Coast. Good enough...nothing to write home about. "

" This was my first read by Coonts and it was okay. I'm not sure I'll read more of his books. "

" Read via books on CD. I did not like this author's writing - seemed elementary and out of context at times - using words like "dude". "

" This was the first book I have read by this author, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I found the writing to be rather simplistic, and I'm certain it would have made a better action movie than a book. Overall, 2.5 stars with a slight willingness to try reading more of him in the future to compare. "

" Great book, really exciting story, a little campy though with lots of silly cliche's otherwise good book "

" Good enough where I plan to listen to the next book in the series if there is an audio book. Note quite good enough to read, but entertaining to listen to during a long commute. The actor did a good job. "

" CIA/FBI - better book than I expected. "

" Nothing is as it seems in this novel of Russian and American intrigue. "

" CLASSIC COONTS! GOTTA LOVE THE TOMMY C CHARACTER! "

" Enough to keep my interest, but he uses a little too much kid- like imagination for his main character. A seemingly ordinary thief with super secret agent killing skills. A little far fetched but with plenty of action, sort of like John Maclane's alter ego. "

" This was one of the best Coonts books I've read in awhile. Good to see Jake Grafton still included in this new series. "

" Excellent, entertaining book which I had great difficulty in putting down. "

" Not bad, well written but story can get slow. "

" Added this review years after reading it. Don't remember much other than what's in the description. "

" A burglar turned CIA agent happens upon a mass murder and becomes the victim of a massive conspiracy. The plot has become well used but a reasonably fun read. This is not one of Coonts' best efforts. "
