The Blue Nowhere : A Novel

Rating:
Summary: Highly entertaining.
Review: This was the first novel from Jeffery Deaver that I read, and I must say, i'm glad I did.

The book, while heavy on technological terms and geeky quirks, is fast paced and, in my case, left me wanting more at every turn of the page.

If you're one that doesn't like a lot of technological terminology, I would probably say pass on this book. If however you can tolerate it, i'd definitely recommend picking it up.

Summary: Go back to writing Lincoln Rhyme novels, Mr Deaver.....
Review: It's definitely what you do best.

As with "The Devil's Teardrop", there are incredible gaps in the plot - and unlike "Teardrop", in some cases Deaver doesn't explain what happened during these gaps or refer back to them in any way.

But what he does cover in "The Blue Nowhere" is a rollicking good read nevertheless, not to mention frightening - and this book is definitely worth recommending.

Deaver does need to go back over his notes in "how to write a mystery novel", though - his Lincoln Rhyme novels are proof that he knows how to do it, but so far his non-Rhyme stories look like they were written by a completely different, completely amateurish person masquerading as Jeffery Deaver. Social engineering, perhaps?

Summary: Excellent!
Review: I'm not a big fan of this writer but this book is a page turner. One surprise after the other, and I think you'll find the ending quite interesting as well. Can't say much about this book without giving away the plot so read it for yourself. A must!

Summary: Boring? Really?
Review: I am a normal person in a normal world. I grew up before computers were in every home and class room. I found the book very tense. I could feel my heart rate increase numerous times. Had a hard time putting it down. Freaked me out, that I didn't get on the internet for over a month. Logically I know the odds of something like that really happening is very low...but still...I guess people say there are tech/terms problems in the book. I suppose that would bother me also if I really understood what gigabytes really were. All I know is how to make software work to its fullest.
