Excellent book. Not quite a 5 star but if every book was written this well, I'd read a lot more books. It took me 14 days to read "The Maze" by Demille.

60 year old male who "slowly" reads thrillers and mysteries with an occasional novel thrown in there. Just got back into reading in October 2022 after stopping during the pandemic. I read mainly epubs on my phone and 10 inch Android tablet. Always on the lookout for the next great thriller.

It took 13 days to read this book. "The 6:20 Man" by David Baldacci that was published in 2022 gets only 3 stars out of 5 from me. It was groundhog day with the main character taking a train, day in and day out. It got too predictable. If you have a book that you've been wanting to read, read that book and leave "The 6:20 Man" for when you got nothing better to read. It was an easy and monotonous read.

This was a very good book. Maybe not my style but the book was on the Best Seller List for 130 week+. I read it in 11 days.

Good read but just not the same DeMille when his son got involved with this book.

Tim reviewed The River by Peter Heller
Review of 'The River' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I was sorely disappointed by this book. The whole premise of the book interests me greatly so I figured I would enjoy it. I didn't.
Even with very few characters in the novel, the author didn't do a good job developing some of them.
The author included too many "flashbacks" in the book and some didn't seem necessary.
I rated it a 3 star but I'm being generous with that rating.

Review of 'Palace of treason' on 'Goodreads'

This is a very good book with excellent character development. The storyline is plausible and so are the characters. Note: The author uses adult words, not swear words. In other words, I used the dictionary probably 25 times while reading this book.
You should think about reading this trilogy

The book dove a little too deep into the fantasy genre for me. I read 208 pages of it until I gave up. I'm just not into that genre but the book was well written up to the point that I quit.

Review of 'Red sparrow' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This was a good book and I plan on reading the trilogy. Understand this is an "adult book" in that the author uses words not normally used in fiction. I read this on an ebook reader and used the "definition" feature of the app quite often. It will expand the normal reader's vocabulary in my opinion.
The author also uses a lot of acronyms that challenged my memory a little too often. Matthews could spell out these acronyms more often.

Not really a 4-star book but better than a 3-star book [out of 5 stars]
