The Book of Fate Audiobook

" Brad Melter has a great ability to bring his characters to life and add emotional tension to the fast-pace suspense of what I would label a political thriller. I liked this book for a number of reasons but mostly because the characters will stick with me, which to me is always the best test of a great book. "

" Good reading. "Da Vinci Code"-ish, kinda confusing in spots. Just plow on, not try to be too analytical, great pay off. WAY sympathetic good guys. Saw it as a movie-in-my-head about half way through. "

" jelek, gak asik, not recommended "

" I good political conspiracy peace. Very suspenseful. "

" A poor man's Dan Brown. The characters just barely hit on 2 dimensionality, and the "conspiracies" are hardly as compelling as DaVinci Code. It was a fun read if not terribly interesting. "

" I never read any of the Dan Brown books but I sense this one is written with a bit more panache "

" Really good book will read more by Mr. Meltzer.... "

" This was my first book to read from Meltzer...great book, good character development, fast pace...but had very little to do with the Masons, Thomas Jefferson, or anything else the jacket proclaimed. That is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. "

" Not quite what the snippet on the back lead me to believe but a good story that kept you guessing "

" Another great, suspenseful page-turner from Brad Meltzer, this one dealing with a presidential assassination attempt. "

" I was expecting this book to be a great conspiricy theory book. It fizzled. Still worth reading I think. "

" This book wanted to be the Davinci Code but changed its mind half way through. Just ok "

" Pretty decent. Picked it up for free at hotel. "

" i just finished reading this book. it was great, i couldnt put it down. "

" Felt like a rip-off of the Davinci Code by Dan Brown-- too many similarities for me.. "

" The book started out really slow. I was even question if I should continue reading it, but I hung in there and am thankful I did. The book turned out to be really entertaining and suspensful. "

" This was a decent action/adventure read, but I was heavily disappointed that it was presented as having historical intrigue when in reality it had what could be considered a very soft reference to a code used by a former President (don't want to ruin the one tiny historical surprise). "

" Typical Thriller, nothing special "

" a thriller that's actually thrilling. like reading a movie, am sort of surprised it hasn't been made into movie. it's got everything--politics, conspiracy, free masons, escaped psychos, american history. The suspense is constant. it's like a 500 page chase scene. "

" His books are very good. I loved it. "

" Way too long with too many unnecessary points of view. I read his first book years ago and had hoped his writing style had improved since then. The plotting, yes, but the pacing is still hard to deal with. "

" Wasnt as awesome or thrilling as I had hoped from Brad Meltzer, but it was a good, easy read. "

" Well, I can now say I've read a Brad Meltzer book.<br/><br/>Let no one say I can't learn from experience. <br/><br/>It will be the last Brad Meltzer book I read. It was so awful I can't even bring myself to iterate the reasons.<br/><br/> "

" A very good and very easy read. Was surprised at some of the plot points. "

" Audio Book. It was ok. The cover and the opening about the Mason's had me excited but it wasn't as good as I had hoped. Overall not a bad book, just hard to get behind a scarred, scared, wimp for a hero. "

" it could have been great....but just never got great. very enjoyable though. "

" Not bad, one of those Dan Brown-esque thrillers that are sometimes fun to pore over. A couple of unresolved threads (ie the Masonic stuff doesn't actually add to the plot much and is a bit of a red herring) but a pleasant enough read. "

" A really disappointing book from Brad. The plot is sketchy, writing is pathetic and the threads are still<br/>lose at the end of the plot. Do read his other books but not this one "

" It's a good &quot;sitting on the bus&quot; book, not a great work but a good read anyway, "

" One of my favorite mystery writers. I like the bumbling hero--not a Columbo bumbler, just a kind of normal type who's good at some stuff but not a superhero and definitely someone with weaknesses who makes mistakes. Good story, intrigue in the halls of power. "

" BORING!!! I was expecting this to be a lot more intriguing than it turned out to be. It was number 1 on the NY Times best sellers, I have no idea why. Don't waste your time. "

" very great book with an unexpected end.<br/> "
