Summary: Righteous Congressman Condones Political Assasination
Review: Righteous Minnesota representative angry at the government knows who killed four sleazy Members of Congress but only tells his girlfriend and his killer grandfather. What a sleazeball. Simplistic yarn.

Summary: Term Limits
Review: The book is so substantial it just boggles the mind. Mr. Flynn is an outstanding author. He is not so involved with detail or 1,000 usless facts. He gets to the point of the matter with with out having to beat around the bush. I personally enjoy that. He makes the book so picturesque, or I should say plot, that when reading the book you are on the edge of you seat.I would really like to see it as a movie.In my opinion people really open up and see the reality of our government. Or any place for that matter whether or not be it our own government. It could be about the 1800's England's romance period and he could flower it out with extremity. Congradulations Mr. Flynn.

Summary: Term limits holds unlimited thrills.
Review: I was given this book by a female friend, who is one of the biggest pacifists I have ever known. Right away this indicated to me that the author must have done an incredible job of storytelling.I was not disappointed. Flynn's story pulled me in so quickly, that I finished the book in three days and I was left me wanting more. His technical detail was excellent without being overpowering (Tom Clancy??), and I found the characters amazingly empathetic. Finally, as a member of the United States military, I felt that this fictional account wasn't very far off base. The portrayal of "all" politicians as being completely unscrupulous and devoid of emotion "may" have been somewhat exaggerated. But none the less, this tale is one which members of the military and civilians alike should find entertaining if not eye-opening.

Summary: i guess it's essentially grammatically correct
Review: if you don't care about characterization, dialogue, or plot, then this may be the book for you. the essential premise is interesting for about five seconds, but it is so overshadowed by the unbelievable lack of quality that permeates every other aspect of this novel that it's not worth wasting your time, and definitely not your money, on. it's such a sophomoric effort that it boggles my mind that it was published. mr. flynn may be knowledgeable about the ways of washington and political intrigue; i have no basis by which to evaluate that. however, no matter how plausible his scenario may be, it's not enough to merit dissemination under the guise of a literary work. if an author is unable to craft believable and empathetic characters, and relate their experiences such a manner that the reader feels involvement and a stake in the story's outcome, self-respect should cause him to scrap either the unworkable version or the entire project should they turn out to be the same in the end. i don't usually get quite so annoyed after reading a book that i find flawed, but this one is so simplistic, so artless, that it seems impossible that even the most comatose editor could find it worthy of publication with an eye toward anything but a quick and deceitful buck. and that's nothing more than highway robbery.

Summary: A justification for editors... but where were they?
Review: Mr. Flynn's first novel is a wish-fulfillment political fantasy, the sort of story that's bound to set a lot of pulses beating, given the current state of American politics. As a story it works fairly well. However, there are more than a few marginal implausibilities that require the reader to swallow hard and bull on through to the ending. My objections are mostly to the execution. The book is riddled with sub-par writing. Yes, yes, I know a book from the political / military thriller genre isn't likely to feature literary-quality writing. Still, clean writing, free of non-sequiturs and stylistic tics, would be much appreciated. Clean writing allows a story to shine through the words in which it's told. Sloppy writing such as that in "Term Limits" distracts from the story, compelling the reader to remount the narrative horse over and over again. That this book was published in its current state implies that editors don't believe the quality of writing in a thriller is important enough to be worth their time and effort. However, this reader would prefer that thriller writers strain to match the cleanliness and crispness of Ed Ruggero, if they can't quite aspire to the stylistic grace of Ralph Peters... and that their editors try to raise them to that standard.

Summary: Term Limits is the embodiment of literary excellence
Review: The plot for this book is reason enough to read it. With the political cauldron boiling with politicians intent on restoring prestige and prosperity to the American People as well as their nemisees... corrupt politicians with only personal gain and self-interests in mind, action and drama combine to captivate the reader from the start. The moral stature of the characters is well defined yet the predictability that would usually be found in such a plot is nowhere to be seen. This is amongst the best books I've ever read. I find this author to be comprable to David Baldacci and Nelson Deville.

Summary: Interesting Premise
Review: A very easy read. It's premise (changing America one politician at a time) will disturb liberals and those who adore our government. Some of the characters are easy to identify (i.e. Senator Fitzgerald - a hard drinking overweight womanizing liberal Democrat politician from New England.... gee, guess who this is supposed to be?). I await Flynn's next novel.

Summary: Loved It!
Review: I loved this book, it really offers a deep look at the world of politics in Washington. It made me sick to realize this kind of stuff probably happens every day. It was a super quick read for me, I was so engrossed I just lost track of time. I highly recommend it. It's a great alternative to TV and more exciting!
