Summary: not his best work
Review: I started reading this book hoping it would as good as his other books have been in the past. I was wrong it was boring from the first page I couldn't get into it. David Baldacci usually writes a good supenseful book that I can't put down . This book was a disapointment to me.

Summary: Somewhat Interesting
Review: I'm somewhat disappointed in David Baldacci after reading "Saving Faith." To begin with, the storyline is somewhat far-fetched, yet too familiar. At times it seems like we've been down this road before.Robert Thornhill is the classic conspirator that all conspiracy theorists live to find. His use of CIA resources to top the FBI is the stuff that people in Montanta cabins dream up. On the other hand, Danny Buchannan, the consumate Washington lobbyist, in his zeal to save the starving world, gets tangled in Thornhill's schemes. Enter Faith Lockhart and Lee Adams, the beautiful heroine and manly savior, respectively. After Faith runs to the FBI for help, she is unwittingly cast in the middle of a fight that she's not quite sure of. Adams appears as her guardian angel. The ending leaves the reader somewhat hanging, leaving us to wander whether Baldacci is considering a sequel. Overall, I will say that I was somewhat disappointed. The work appeared somewhat forced.

Summary: Faith is always in danger in Washington
Review: Faith of the title of this Baldacci novel is Faith Lockhart, a lobbyist in the nation's capital whose boss (Buchanan) has been buying off politicians to promote his interests. In an effort to save herself, and she hopes, her boss, she goes to the FBI. It is her intention to tell them all she knows, but only if Buchanan will also be given immunity. Her boss does not know where she is or what she intends, so he hires private detective Lee Adams to find her and make sure she is all right. Unbeknownst to any of them, another government group has determined that Faith must die before she tells names. What follows is a fast story with each side being put into check, only to get the upper hand once more. Adams is determined to save Faith and find out what is going on. Baldacci's stories come across well on tape and this one, read by Chris Noth, is a pleasure, even though Noth sometimes has a little too much fun with different voices. As well as this abridged version came across, one does have to wonder if the full text begged for tightening. Although Baldacci's "Last Man Standing" is fairly different from this one, readers will probably enjoy it too. This is good action adventure.

Summary: saving my faith in modern literature
Review: David Baldacci knows how to write engaging novels without resorting to cheap drivel and profanity. Although the story is (hopefully) unrealistic, one gets emotionally involved with the many protagonists as the reader wonders how the story can untangle successfully. I really enjoyed the prime villain's fate, and was stunned by the admission of his accomplice late in the story. The novel is fast paced and highly entertaining. Enjoy!

Summary: NOT RELIGION BUT A WOMAN....
Review: This book is a slow moving but easyreading that helps keep your interest. At times things getexciting but it is not a pageturner. The same old competitionbetween the CIA and the FBI forfunding and recognition gets a bittiresome. Faith Lockhart is a legal assistant to Danny who hiresLee to follow someone to start thelife and death of Agents (take your pick) as they betray and/orshoot their way up to fame or life's end. It involves Congessmembers vieing for the best gravyjobs after retirement. Someone gets killed by accident, another gets shot by taking the bullet tosave a friend. The reader keeps on reading this to the end and isassulted by a "They lived happilyever after" line you won't wantto hear. Baldacci usually writestoo long a story and has troublebringing them to a close. Thatgives it a 3 1/2 star but it isBaldacci so I gave it a 4. The line "And so he did." actually rates it a 3. This is a book from1999 so don't rush to read it.

Summary: TO SLOW!!!!!!!
Review: The first David Baldacci book I have read and if I don't change my mind will be my last. There was some few very good pages but most of the pages seemed to be just talk. People would spend page after page talkng about what was gong on or thinking and talking about what had happened to them in the past. Much to slow moving for me. Also to unbelieveable. I think things do go on in our government that are wrong but this is so far out it is unreal. No need to talk about the characters as I did not even finish the book, yes, I did give it a chance, read to page 300 and thought that was enough. Very, very slow moving!!!!!!

Summary: Not bad
Review: There is a mildly interesting story in here somewhere, but the author spends too much time developing a love relationship and grinding political axes. I've heard Baldacci's other books are better, that isn't hard to believe.

Review: "Saving Faith" is a little slow, but keep going -- it gets better. Mr. Baldacci keeps writing good books and this one is right up there.

Summary: A Little Short Of The Mark
Review: I had only recently rediscovered how much I enjoyed Baldacci; and had just finished The Winner and Total Control before I picked up Saving Faith. It wasn't planned. I saw the book on my daughter's bookshelf; and I was looking for a good paperback to read during my travels on her city's local public transportation system. I wanted, almost desperately, for Saving Faith (catchy title) to be as good as the other Baldacci novels that I had read. The novel's beginnings promise plenty of excitement; and while the rest of the novel certainly deserves to be read it doesn't live up to what I think most of Baldacci's readers have come to expect. The plot is interesting but a little over-worked (FBI and CIA intrigue). The character development is adequate-certainly Lee, Faith and Buchanan are all likeable characters; and, Thornhill is a nasty enough villain. Saving Faith may satisfy your hunger for Baldacci but there really isn't enough here to put meat on your bones.
