Summary: Good but not great: Fast start, very slow middle...
Review: ...and a twist-filled ending that worked for me.
This book came highly recommended to me from someone whose opinion I value so I was disappointed that it was not the fantastic novel she had raved about. However, it is a decent read. It was a good last-of-the-summer novel.
Rating: 
Summary: Possibly, the worst book I,ve read
Review: Not my favourite Baldacci, but still exciting and a page-turner. I didn't feel as close to these characters as I have in his other books. However, I always love reading about my home (Maryland/DC) and is especially entertaining for me to read about my business (PR/Lobbying) and my "coworkers".

Summary: Fast, Slow, Predictable
Review: Saving Faith starts out fast paced with many (almost too many) characters introduced lickity split. Once you have figured out many of the players, you get pulled into the action of Lee and Faith. Lee Adams, a private investigator with a less than stellar private life, is hired anonymously to follow Faith Lockhart. Faith, who works for manipulative lobbyist Danny Buchanon, is getting ready to tell the FBI everything she knows about her boss. The next thing you know, an FBI agent is dead and Faith and Lee are running for their lives!The chase ensues and the plot slows down a bit. The relationship has time to develop between Lee and Faith and other minor and key players. Finally, the CIA and FBI pick up the pace of the plot a bit....but alas the story falls victim to a very predictable ending. Baldacci is a good author and the writing in this book is good, it just lacked the pace I am used to in a Baldacci book.
Rating:
Summary: A compelling page-turner
Review: Baldacci has quickly become one of my favorite authors...and for good reason. Like a runaway train about to jump the tracks, the plot wound through "Saving Faith" is exciting and unpredictable. Baldacci writes expertly in a violent drama that starts slow, but simply becomes too compelling to put down.
The main characters will draw you in if nothing else will. They are easy to identify with...even when battling a web of corruption that could end both of their lives. If you're looking for a good thriller, pick up "Saving Faith".
