"Fast paced intelligent drama with a crisp narrative, The Chosen One by Sam Bourne is one of the best books I've read in 2010. Highly recommended for people who like Dan Brown and Sidney Sheldon novels. " — Abhishek (4 out of 5 stars)
"Fast paced intelligent drama with a crisp narrative, The Chosen One by Sam Bourne is one of the best books I've read in 2010. Highly recommended for people who like Dan Brown and Sidney Sheldon novels. "
" Not a bad read, something different for me. A bit of an anti-climax at the end though. "
" I bought this after mistakenly thinking that I had enjoyed a previous SB book more than I actually did. It's a moderately entertaining tale about a woman who is investigating a plot to bring down the newly elected president. "
" Not as good as his others and I've read them all. A bit predictable. "
" It is a very interesting story with alot of twists and turn. It goes deep in the world of politics. It is difficult to predict how it ends. Really amazing... I recommend it "
" When you see TV ads for a book, you have to be wary. "
" just started..... thinner than the previous books of Sam Bourne that i read. hope i enjoy it! "
" Nothing is what it seems :) "
" The last 3 I read in one session .... this one took a week.... good but not as good as the previous ones "
" The story in this book was good but parts of it were just not believable. OK read to pass a few days but not great. "
" This is my favourite Sam Bourne book so far, and puts him close to Dan Brown with the ability to create a book that blends together, and blurs the lines between, fact and fiction. Really good book! "
