Reel Pressure

Rating:
Summary: Be Fair...It's a new genre, business crooks and people!
Review: ... ... ...Pearson doesn't write car chase thrillers or violent books, instead, he tells a story, let's you know who the villain is and then spends time creativly having the characters dispense justice;usually outside the legal system's solution. It's not a who-done-it or a cozy but a story where businessmen and lawyers are usually the heavies; where deeds coupled with clever solutions to problems affected by ordinary people doing extraordinary things in the face of pressure win the day.

Granted, you have to think and use your own imagination as you read. After all, this isn't television doing the thinking for you, it's a book where you can enjoy plot and character nuances your own way. I began to like Sydney and Brent in his first book and they flower again here.

Give Pearson a try and you'll find out that the story is good. At the same time, I'd tell you that if you want a murder a minute or car chase scenes and ... every ten seconds, then this isn't your cup of tea; they are only here as they fit into the problem, the plot, the solution and the people. Pretty fair start, I'd say, having read it.

Pearson, like Dick Francis, grows on you...give him a try.

Rumor is he is working on a third titled "A Double Standard."

Bring it on!

Summary: A Real Snoozer
Review: If you want to waste the time just borrow a friends copy but DON'T waste the money buying this novel yourself. I read another of Lance's books entitled "A Byte of Charity" and was hooked from the first chapter. However, "Reel Pressure" starts off really slow, picks up in the middle, and has an ending that seems to drag on forever leaving me with no feelings of satisfaction once I was finished. I don't know if that's his way of getting me to buy his next book but it didn't work.

Summary: Disappointment
Review: This book was a real disappointment. I enjoyed Lance's first book, but Reel Pressure failed to meet my expectations. If you're looking to get this book, you could probably find mine on Half.com.....otherwise......I would pass on it.
