The Hostage: A Presidential Agent Novel Audiobook

" Second Griffin book I read. Great and interesting details in explaining the scenes and sequence of events. Rather weak on the 'main story (i.e. about the people behind the Oil for Food)'. In fact, the you don't get to the guy they've been looking for until the last 60 pages of the book. And the title 'The Hostage' is pretty misleading as there really isn't much of 'hostage' situation in the book. Maybe Griffin wrote this book to further set up his main characters for this series. "

" It was a really long book. The Main character is very likable but is given way more authority than in reality would ever happen....It's an easy read and keeps you interested following the trail, although the ending sucks. Very abrupt, but I guess it leaves it open for another in the series. It was a good read. "

" Fun and quick paced, exciting and a brilliant cliff hanger. Love the way that WEB Griffin makes each book a stand alone but ties in the previous story with different aspects and happenings so it is not boring for someone who is reading the whole series. "

" This book was okay. I will continue with the series. I thought this book was long winded with all the flying around before the action really started. Thus, the first book was better than the second--it was shorter. "

" So far, Griffin has been fascinating to me. "

" Beach reading for the military-fiction crowd. "

" I always enjoy W.E.B. Griffin books. Lots of action in fascinating locations. "

" Again, I expected not to like this book. It was excellent. I loved following the background to solve this issue. "

" There is more swearing than I would like but the story was pretty good. "

" My favorite of the series. "

" Audio Book. Charlie Castillo is back working with all his buddies from the first book. He's tracking down kidnappers who set their hostage free but kill her husband Jack Masterson who works at the US embassy in Argentina. When he gets Mrs. Masterson ba "

" Major C.G. Castillo isn't nearly as cool as Jack Bauer, but who is? I'll definitely be continuing on with this series. "

" globe-trotting espionage mystery with a heavy dose of bureaucratic in-fighting "

" I'm enjoying the presidential agent series. Like the first book, this one takes a long time to get there and it requires a lot of running around but ultimately it was well worth the read. "

" I really enjoy this series. I found it perhaps a little cheesy in a few spots, a few spots that went on for way too long, but mostly it's very fun to read and I was left wanting more when I finished. Just as good as the first book of this series. "

" Este libro esta situado en Buenos Aires, y nombra muchos lugares y calles conocidos por todos. "

" Wonderful. Made me read the next one. "

" Second book in the series. Not as good as the first, primarily because it doesn't feel likely that the same kinds of convenient developments would occur, and it is more difficult to buy in to the plot developments this time around. I'm not sure if I will continue with this series. "

" exciting, lots of action, greed, graft could be right out of some of todays headlines "

" Amazing story. Like the first book " The Hunters " I could not put it down. "

" good. a little slower than the first in the series. "

" I Have always enjoyed Mr. Griffin's books and I think that this Presidential Agent Novel is in keeping with the rest of his series. I am looking forward to reading the rest of books in this series. "

" ok, I'm hooked on this series. "

" Very good. I love the world travel and intrigue. I like the character development of Charley/Carlos Casteal. Fun Read/Listen. "

" Good, slightly better then By Order of the President. "

" This second book in the Presidential Agent series was pretty much what I expected . . . Major Castillo is very good at what he does. Not too adept at "politics" but he's learning. "

" Good read. Doesn't really end so I would recommend reading the next one in the Presidential Agent series. Also I would start with the first one in the series. "

" It had a great storyline, but I didn't like the author's writing style. Too much military jargon and use of full titles throughout. "

" I'm enjoying the presidential agent series. Like the first book, this one takes a long time to get there and it requires a lot of running around but ultimately it was well worth the read. "

" Very good. I love the world travel and intrigue. I like the character development of Charley/Carlos Casteal. Fun Read/Listen. "

" Typical Griffin but a bit more slow moving than the first book in this series since he uses the same characters and spends a lot of time bring the reader up to date in case they didn´t read the first one. I did enjoy his descriptions of Buenas Aires and Argentines. "

" ok, I'm hooked on this series. "

" Standard W.E.B. Griffin fare. Tough military guy with a complicated past, but wealthy with resources at his disposal not usually available. Nothing too heavy or complicated, just a good story about an Army guy making something right. "

" Again, I expected not to like this book. It was excellent. I loved following the background to solve this issue. "

" I really enjoy this series. I found it perhaps a little cheesy in a few spots, a few spots that went on for way too long, but mostly it's very fun to read and I was left wanting more when I finished. Just as good as the first book of this series. "

" Major C.G. Castillo isn't nearly as cool as Jack Bauer, but who is? I'll definitely be continuing on with this series. "

" Another great book by this author---he has several different series and I have read them all----again read it years ago "

" Griffin can cast a military yarn like no one else "

" Magic words "Presidential Finding" Charley Castillo is fascinating "

" I love a good swift adventure story. And with a character that has power, but thumbs his nose at the powerful people that misuse it. "

" Fun and quick paced, exciting and a brilliant cliff hanger. Love the way that WEB Griffin makes each book a stand alone but ties in the previous story with different aspects and happenings so it is not boring for someone who is reading the whole series. "
