Secret Prey (Cassette/Abridged)

Rating:
Summary: A great read
Review: I loved this book and couldn't put it down. I like the fact that Davenport figures out who the "bad guy" is through old fashioned police investigative work, not just luck (like in P. Cromwell's books recently). Can't wait for the next one!

Rating:
Summary: Hated it
Review: This is one of the most boring books that I have ever read in my life. I have never given up on a book in my life. Why? Because I paid for it and I want to get my money's worth. But with this one, I just couldn't take it any longer. I got to page 102 and said, "F*ck it; I'm through." Nuf said!

Summary: A neck-snapping ride down the path of corporate treachery.
Review: Sandford continues his unabashed enthusiasm for Minnesota geography. During a recent weekend trip to the Twin Cities area, I was able to take in quite a bit of the scenes where Sandford's novels take place.This latest thriller of the Prey Series, is vintage Sandford. This book has enough twists and turns to keep the most paranoid conspiracy theorist switching assumptions. A roller coaster ride from start to finish, with a surprise ending.

Rating:
Summary: Very Boring!
Review: As anyone who has read a few 'Prey' books will tell you, the first 50 pages are ALWAYS spine-tingling and terrifying. In this Prey book, we spend the first 100 pages going over all of the characters situations to encourage the reader to guess the killer's identity. This is done in a very slow and useless fashion. I don't think Sandford actually wrote this book, I think he had someone under 14 ghost-write this for him. By far, the worst Prey book.

Rating:
Summary: Good quick read - page turner
Review: Good mystery - great villia

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I am an avid fan of Sandford's Prey Series, but this book was a tremendous letdown. I had major problems maintaining any kind of interest mostly because the characters are duds, including Lucas. Previously, reading any of Sandford's other novels in this series was a pleasure--words flowed and the plot was flawless--but this book just "ain't all that and a bag of chips too." I really hope Certain Prey doesn't turn out to be the letdown this novel was.

Summary: Sandford Misses with "Secret Prey"
Review: You'll spend more time learning how the Corporate hierarchy works than being entertained in this latest installment of the "Prey" series. However, Sandford does have a way with climactic description, namely the prelude to the altercation between Lucas and the hick cop, and then the final confrontation with the killer. An unbelievable prelude to his new relationship also detracts from the reading experience. But hey, he was due for a dud.

Summary: Another great Lucas Davenport story!
Review: As all the Lucas Davenport series, this book keeps you wanting to turn the page. It's hard to put this book down. But I wonder how many readers caught the MAJOR mistake on page 113 of the paperback version? Lucas asks Bonet why she told Robles she shot McDonald and a few lines later she refers to killing McDonald. It should have referred to Kresge, not McDonald. However, even this major mistake created only a minor distraction. Keep the great stories coming, John. I can't wait to read Certain Prey.

Summary: A THRILLING PAGE TURNER
Review: This was my first book by John Sandford. I hope the other Prey books are just as good. Davenport has everything going for him.

Rating:
Summary: One of the best
Review: I love this book as all of Sanford's books. Lucas is the man in every way. Sanford did a great job at spinning a mystery that keeps your interest right to the end. You will feel like appluding at the end.
