The Accident
by Chris Pavone
Worst book ever ...... (2/20/2018)
Years ago, I gave up on Robert Ludlum books when they became pure fantasy. I read "The Accident" after reading Pavone's first book (The Ex-Pats) which was a decent read. This second effort is an absolute joke, nothing is believable and the writing style is difficult to even describe. Add to that, a lot of unnecessary F-bomb swearing, even in the narrative parts. I won't be reading his third novel which is now out. Lots of good reviews on another review site for this book (along with some bad ones). I can't imagine anyone enjoying it, save yourself some time and find something else to read.
Those in Peril
by Wilbur Smith
Less than 1/5 (3/6/2012)
This book is a disgrace and is insulting to the many fine books that Smith has written. I'm wondering if someone else isn't penning this drivel he's been publishing lately. The characters are from Wilbur's worst nightmares, the plot is adolescent, and really, anyone who spent money on buying this should ask for their money back (I got it from the library thankfully). A person's money would be better spent on some video action game. Two hacked-off heads smuggled in and left in their bathroom in glass jars? C'mon, it's utter nonsense from start to finish and I only read it through to see just how stupid it could get, and it didn't disappoint. I'm starting "The Sunbird" tonight for the 4th time.
