The Ambition: A Novel Audiobook

" It was okay. I've read better. "

" What a tangled web we weave when we are determined to deceive. One deception after another keeps the reader wondering if its even possible to have happy ending. "

" Lee Strobel's first shot at fiction was well versed. The story line was captivating, but it didn't grab me like a good murder mystery does. Overall a good read. You also understand the politics of Chicago being the "windy city." "

" This book, by one of my favorite non-fiction writiers, has some really great reading in it...suspenseful and addictive. But the ending is predictable and really waters down the book a great deal. Not sure that I will read any more of Lee's fiction. "

" Intrigue. murder. Crisis'of faith. Unflinching faith. redemption. GOOD READ "

" Way too preachy. Plot was so-so. Characters pretty weak. What's with the Snow guy? Weird combo of integrity v. Vanity. Strobel is a very far cry from Grisham! No real depth-spiritual or otherwise. "

" It's decent. Not great, not bad either. "

" Read like a John Grisham novel. Not quite as suspenseful, but still very good. "

" Good mystery but many events were unrealistic. "

" slow beginning, gets better in the middle, and then end just kind of fizzled out. It had.some potential, but squandered it. "

" Mr. Strobel is a great writer period and this work of fiction does not disappoint. Several story lines weave together into one great story and there is a moral to the story. Focus! "

" Very mediocre. If it had been a longer book, I would have stopped reading it before I finished. It ended abruptly with no resolution. "

" Better read than I expected. The crime/church plot was new and interesting. It held my interest through the entire book. A nice summer crime novel. "

" I had read Christian apologetics books by Lee Strobel, but this was my first fiction book by the author. It combined the Chicago mob and a corrupt judge, a leader of a large evangelical church, and a US Senate race. I dislike mob stories so I slogged through that part. "

" I think Lee Strobel did a great job on his first novel. There is a lot going on as he weaves four stories together in an exciting thriller. I can't wait for his next one...there is going to be a next one, right? "

" Solid first novel, a fun, quick read. "

" Absolutely fantastic. A real page turner from the beginning. I hope he continues with the fiction. I'd love to read more like this. "

" Did not like it. Too many unanswered questions at the end of reading it....finished with an unsettled sense.. "

" I did not realize this was from a Christian publication house- I was looking for a mystery, thriller and the description sounded appealing. But as the plot thickened, the theology took over, and the story got way too pat. There were also a lot of loose ends, at least in my mind. "

" It's decent. Not great, not bad either. "
