The Whole Truth (Abridged) Audiobook

" This book as pretty predictable, but I still liked the story. There is a lot of action and would probably make a good movie. "

" This is readable, although the characters are wooden and lifeless, and if you have anything more than a tourist's knowledge of London, Edinburgh and Paris, Baldacci's descriptions of those places will make you cringe! "

" The main character A Shaw is kind of cross between Mitch Rapp and Jack Reacher. "

" The second half of this novel is by far more exciting and interesting. Therefore, 9 of 10 stars. "

" Classic Baldacci thriller. There are no real surprises in this type of story but the journey to the end is fun. When the super-villain goes to his mega-yacht you know the final battle will take place there. When they talk about the attached submarine you know that will feature in final part of the story. It took me until about 3/4 of the way through the story to figure out who the "I thought he was my ally but he turns out to be my enemy" was. You know with this type of book the good guy will win in the end, the villain will get his come-upance, and the world will once again be made safe. "

" This book has violence, sex, and swearing. The premise is that a person who sells weapons wants more business so he starts a war through videos on the internet. Interesting, not bad after the first 4-5 chapters. "

" What a great way to spoil a good book. He starts out strong, with an interesting idea full of relevant concepts expressed in compelling language, then completely ruined it for me by making me no longer care at all what happened to the characters about the time I was halfway through. "

" Finished this while stuck in LaGuardia and on all the planes between NYC and Boise. Fun and entertaining but definitely skippable. "

" I couldn't put it down! I loved it! It is exciting and fast paced. "

" I read Shaw #2 prior to #1 and both were good; however, liked #2 better. David does a great job and I especially like his audio books. Look forward to reading more! "

" I quit reading about 1/4 through the book. The plot was really weak. Not a typical Baldacci, that's for sure. "

" Author gives lots of background in beginning chapters. I had read a Katie James/Shaw book before so it was great to read the 1st one. "

" It was a good paperback, intended for paperback reading. I felt the characters were not well developed and leaned too heavily on cultural cliches. Still, it brightened my time in Brazil and the plot wasn't bad. "

" Typically good Baldacci read. An interesting take on 'perception management'. I wonder how much of this actually happens. "

" It was OK. Just didn't enjoy the subject. "

" Awesome book. I would give it six stars if I could. The best book by Baldacci that I've read so far. More twists and surprises, and there are several points in the book that almost had me yelling out loud at the characters as if they were in a movie on a big screen. Definitely worth a read. "

" Good book of intrigue and action and scary what can happen when evil men put their mind to it. "

" The last of my beach reads from my Indonesian trip. I think anyone should read this book and not just at the beach. It gives you so much to think about regarding the nature of war, the news today and what you can believe about both.... which is exactly nothing. "

" another book that points out (even through fiction) that the truth is not always the truth and you can't believe everything you hear "

" Is this my eleventh Baldacci book, I think? Sigh. So nice that I have more to read. "

" The whole idea of perception management in this time of internet is probably more realistic than some of can even imagine! It does drive home the need to NOT BE A SHEEP people! Check things out and be sure that you are holding those in charge responsible. "

" The most appalling massacre takes place on a quiet London street in a power play. Perception management is fully employed by a private company to manipulate the truth. It makes you wonder if there is anything that can be reliably believed. "

" A good story, but the premise is a little silly and the escapes a bit contrived. Still I enjoyed it and may actually read another book by this author. An easy read "

" The usual David Baldacci style...good v evil!! A good read with some previous characters. Action packed at the end...a little bit unrealistic but who cares?? "

" This was a great book. The idea of governments possible setting up a situation and influencing the media to alter our beliefs is frightening and I believe it has happened. I couldn't put it down. "
