Summary: The Real Deal
Review: Vince Flynn has a tremendous amount of knowledge about our Special Operations teams. I don't know anything about him personally or about his actual involvement with the military but he has done his homework. The plot and charachters are not exactly developed in the spirit of James Fenimore Cooper or Leo Tolstoy, but this is a fun read. I liked the charachters and I liked the plot. I am one of those "conservative republicans" that my fellow reviewer, Bill Johnson, notes provide such good reviews of the novel. If you are as politically opposite of the current criminals in office as I am, read this book. It's fun and paints a realistic and accurate picture of special ops work. I think that Mr. Johnson (a S.C. hating liberal) was offended by the premise of this book. Good. (appologies for the use of "fractured english")He has a new story out as well: Transfer of Power... more testosterone soaked pages of bad politicians getting theirs and patriots winning the day. Guns, bombs, blood, carnivores, high tech spy stuff... read it.
Rating: 
Summary: Very compelling and gripping! MUST READ!
Review: I was drawn in my the premise on the back and I was so happy to read it. I stayed up nights just find out what happened next and it was good. It was a little predictable in a few areas but it was mostly a suspenseful. I want to read his other books.

Summary: Decent first offering
Review: I am glad that I read Flynn's second novel first, because this one was certainly not as good. Mr Flynn makes a fine entry into the genre with this piece of work but could have really used some better editing. I realize I may be nitpicking a bit but Mr Flynn has nearly every major character in this boook, all educated people, using some fractured english. Further, Mr Flynn repeatedly (as many as 5 times on a single page) referred to American military personnel as "commandos". With the greatest respect to the author, I must say that "commando" is a word seldom, if ever, used in the American miliary lexicon. Special Forces personnel are usually referred to just that way, or as "special operators" or "spec-ops" etc... His main character, Michael O'Rourke, fits the typical description of today's so-called "angry white male"... He is a 32 year old member of the House of Representatives who lives in Georgetown (an area of Washington, DC that is home to some of it's wealthiest citizens) and carries around a .45 caliber pistol in fear of "roving youth gangs" (Mr Flynn must be writing about a different Georgetown than the one a five minute drive from my office). O'Rourke actually advocates the murder of politicians that are no good (I wonder why this novel didn't have a Strom Thurmond or Jesse Helms counterpart). No wonder this book is so well reviewed by so many self-described Rpublicans and Conservatives. I realize that this was his first time out of the gate, but I would suggest to Mr Flynn that not all of the people in the world are not either Irish, Swedish, or from Minnesota. This book was a good read, but incredibly preachy. Read it, you may have some fun.

Summary: Awesome!
Review: I picked this up and didn't put it down then the next day I ordered Flynn's next book "Transfer of Power". Term Limits is a high level government thriller from the opening sequences to the closing manuevers. The story centers around a congressman torn between what he knows is right and what he feels is right and caused me to think of what I would do in a similar situation. The book will make you think and keep you entertained for however long it takes you to read it.

Summary: Term limits
Review: Term Limits is an action packed read. I went right out and bought another Flynn book.

Summary: Tension packed thriller.
Review: A bunch of people whose tastes I trust have highly recommended Vince Flynn's "Transfer of Power", so I decide to start with his first novel and I was not disappointed. This one moves full speed ahead from page one. The technical aspects seem correct and the DC/Maryland landscape is well mapped and researched. So, the activity flows nicely and you can believe the action. The premise to the plot is where the imagination is needed; but if you have even the tiniest belief in any conspiracy theory involving the U.S. government, then it is easy to buy into the basis of Mr. Flynn's ideas. A couple of FBI and CIA types are bona fide decent, but the rest of the "good guys" have decided the ends justify the means, and have taken the means to their own extremes. The villains are far worse, and totally repulsive. If I had one complaint I would say it's about one hundred pages too long. It was overkill on the final three or four "situations" after the evil doers were uncovered. From what I have heard and the reviews I have seen in Amazon.com, it is apparent Mr. Flynn left a lot for his second novel. I look forward to "Transfer of Power" and hope it's a little more compact.

Summary: TERM LIMITS HAS IT ALL!
Review: This is one of the best novals of its kind. A real page-turner. The book HAS IT ALL. Politics, action, power struggle, conspiracies, CIA covert operations, US military special forces in action, FBI investigation and a lot more. This book is similar to Tom Clancy's novels, only that it's better and the story moves faster. Don't start the book if you have a busy week ahead of you, because you won't be able to resist it. "Term Limits" is definitely a MUST-READ!
Rating:
Summary: Great story & plot, ending a little weak for the rest book!
Review: A good story throughout, but I thought the ending was a little weak, although it was surprising. Flynn does have a knack for keeping the suspense alive, and for surprises along the way. Will look into his other books!
Rating:
Summary: excellent political thriller
Review: The best of this genre I have ever read. Honestly! Flynn's character development and plot are as good as any. The snapshot of Washington is a glimpse at the seedy political struggle that we know happens, but hope never goes this far. I am hoping for more.
Rating:
Summary: Great quick read
Review: This is a great book and Flynn gives Clancy a run for his money. Fast paced and easy to follow it is a must read for any Clancy fan or wannabe fan.
