Let me go slowly here...I wish I could find a way to rate this book by various categories within the book. In other words I give the idea/plot 5 stars and the actual storytelling a 2. At best much of the time.Let me also say this, I'm interested enough in the "story" that I plan to move on to the next book. You will see I went with a 3 star rating (or maybe you've seen already, ha...). This is about as close as I can come to reflecting my thoughts and feelings on this book in a single rating.We
This book starts off with an incredibly implausible scene. Beecher, an archivist, is helping an old the friend in the archives try to locate some information about her long-lost father (who turns out to be in an asylum for the criminally insane after attempting to assassinate the president.) He is showing her a SCIF room, very private rooms where the president and other special dignitaries can view especially important and secret documents without being spied upon (why would they have surveillan...
Avid watchers of the History Channel have more than likely seen, or at least heard about, Brad Meltzer. He is, in some ways, to the History Channel what Alton Brown is to the Food Channel. Meltzer's show "Decoded" is the "Good Eats" for conspiracy theorists, a well-researched, melodramatic, funny, tongue-in-cheek look at everything from the Lincoln assassination to the Mayan end-of-the-world-in-2012 prophecies. Meltzer is also a bestselling author of more than a dozen novels, most of them involv...
This was my first Brad Meltzer book, and it started out well, but as time went on, a few things became painfully obvious:1. "No one is who they appear to be at first." And I mean, no one. Not a single named character escapes this cliche.2. Towards the second half of the book, we get hit with Dan-Brown mini chapters, intended to add suspense, but only achieve a sense of talking to the reader as if he/she is 5 years old.3. The plot gets more and more and more convoluted...I halfway expected space
I love books with the whole historical conspiracy thing and I like Brad Meltzer, but this one was a miss. Since it's a Brad Meltzer book, I expect a certain amount of sad sackness to the protagonist, but this one was too much to take. And there were too many moments where everything stopped for exposition from people who would not normally do such a thing, in situations that no one would normally do it. And some situations, I just didn't buy. If you've never read Meltzer's books, do yourself a f...
When Michael Crichton published "The Lost World" a few years ago, I felt like I was reading the screenplay for the upcoming "Jurassic Park" sequel rather than an actual novel. A similar thing happened reading Brad Meltzer's latest novel "The Inner Circle." The story itself is a popcorn thriller of a book. The story opens with archivist Benjamin January preparing for a meeting with his old high school crush, Clementine. She's contacted him again via Facebook and needs his help with tracking down
Meltzer puts out another great novel! He brings conspiracy to the forefront and makes you wonder what is REALLY going on inside US Politics.
this book for sure is a page turner. I started it and could not walk away. Brad definitely can tell a story. Beecher is an incredible character. If you read this book I hope you have a map because you are sure to get lost in it.
This story is longer than necessary. There are interesting conspiracy plots , but the main characters are not strong and become distracting. 6 of 10 stars
