Summary: Really disappointed
Review: Very dissatisfying read. Could not identify with any of the characters. Way too much time spent on the terroists plot. Too little on the investigation and activities of the newspaper involvement. Really thought it inapproprate for the times with all the school involved crimes.However, did finish the book, wanted to see what happened in the end. Didn't like the end!

Summary: Sharp and unpredictable
Review: With "Man of the Hour," Peter Blauner continues to prove what a very, very good writer he is. Although his books are regularly categorized as "thrillers," they are much more than that. Quite simply, they're great novels-taut, insightful studies into what people do upon finding themselves in extreme circumstances. He certainly provides that again here. His reluctant hero, David Fitzgerald, is as fallible as any of us. And his villains-Mideast terrorists who could've so easily become cartoons in any lesser writer's hands, are complex, their motives understandable.The result is at once thought-provoking AND a great read. Blauner is one of the best.

Summary: No Substance
Review: With all due respect to the author, there is not much to say about this one. The plot is not interesting and it doesn't seem like a lot of thought went into the story. This book could have been written in 20 pages. Very disappointing. Don't be fooled by the references on the back cover. The only by-product is it makes you appreciate Richard Jewel's (person accused of bombing the '96 Olympics in Atlantic) situation. Spend you time and money elsewhere.

Summary: Read this.........
Review: {Man of the Hour} Man of the Hour was a great book! The personality's of the characters seem so lively and real. You can visualize every detail in this book. David Fitzgerald, the main character, is the center of this book. After saving a student's life everything seems to surround him. He is soon publicized on TV and in a president's announcement affiliated with his heroic courage of saving a student's life. He seems so "air born" after everyone nation-wide knows of his name. Soon however David's life is about to be turned around, he becomes FBI's main victim of the bomb plot. I definitely recommend that you read this book if you are into reading action and fictional modern events.
