The Simple Truth

Rating:
Summary: Excellent!!
Review: Like all David Baldacci's other books I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. His style of writing makes everything in the book seem very realistic. Every time I thought I'd worked out "whodunit" a twist was put in the story. All I can say is that it was excellent!! I can't wait to read the next one.

Rating:
Summary: Average,but readable
Review: True to its name "The Simple Truth" is too simple a thriller. There are no sudden plot developments, and the main mystery of the novel is reveald close to the middle of the book.It's not boring, just not exciting enough for my taste.I have read Baldacci before,so I know he can do better.If this was my first Baldacci novel, I think it could have been my last,also.Hope the next one will be better. Bottomline:a book to read on a rainy day,when you can't go to the bookshop and buy something else.

Summary: Entertaining, but not his best
Review: "The Simple Truth" is an engaging book, good for vacation reading, but not his best. I read it in two days, so that says a lot! But it was not a "can't put down" bestseler. Balducci is still my favorite writer. He seems to have lost some of the edge, though.

Summary: This was no "Absolute Power"
Review: I was disappointed. I loved Absolute Power, and really liked Total Control, but this one never seemed to get off the ground. I knew what they did to Rufus, and I knew who the "bad guy" was - no suprises there. It was a quick, easy read, but that's about it.

Summary: hey, david keep going, a right?
Review: well, this book was really exciting, i rode first absolute power(amazing book) and i wanted to read more books you wrote, because you have the same style as john grisham, and i like that, so keep going and don`t let me down, a right?

Summary: Very good book. Ranks up there with Grisham!
Review: At first, the book was a little slow-going. But that was just laying the groundwork for the real plot. And it was excellent! The suspense and twists kept me reading - a real page-turner. The characters were well portrayed, and the insight into the Supreme Court was very interesting. I'm a John Grisham fan, and this is the first book I've read by David Baldacci, but certainly won't be the last!

Summary: One of the best books one will ever read.SUPERB!!!
Review: The first book that i read that was written by David Baldacci is The Absolute Truth, although I like the book I never though of buying any of his book later, because I find the starting of The Absolute Truth quite boring. But when I read The Simple Truth I just can't put the book down. The book really gets me excited. One will never think of putting it down. If you don't like this book, then you don't have the right to read any book at all.

Rating:
Summary: A work comparable to Grisham
Review: This was a very suspenseful novel in which one turn led to another. It was the best book I've read in a while.

Rating:
Summary: A great hear!
Review: I listened to The Simple Truth on a long drive from Albuquerque to Los Angeles. Baldacci creates superb suspense surrounding the real reason for prisoner Rufus Harms's appeal to the supreme court. Following that revelation, however, there is an attempt to wrap up both plot and characters too tidily. We can count on a movie for the novel sounds like a scenario.
