Another brilliant book from Douglas Kennedy! This man has such intelligence and each book takes you on a captivating journey. This was no exception. After an accidental murder of his wife's "boyfriend", Ben has to cover his tracks and fast. This isn't your usual "running from the police" novel, I assure you!I was prepared to give this a firm five stars but I feel toward the end of the book, the excitement wore off as opposed to increasing. Saying that, I did not see the ending coming andComplicated? I can't describe it, but it has a well written and cinematic flow. Made me thinking about my dreams and my life. When the 'I' and the 'Must' collide....
I remember reading A Special Relationship by this author. That was such a great book. So, I had to find another by this author. This one was just as good. This is an American writer, however, he currently lives in London. Im thinking his books are popular there, because when I try and mooch these books, they are all in the UK. Thats too bad because America is missing out. This guy is good. His character development is awesome. You route for the main character, but you realize how flawed they
It was hilarious while reading this book thoroughly. I wasnt able to stop giggling when this authors sarcastic satire came out in very realistic conversations. But in the end, when I closed the book, in a fleeting moment, I realized how sad story it is...
Introduction: I read this book from start to finish[SPOILER]Cons: The characters are one dimensional, like stick figures. There were too many miracles with not enough supporting details. For example: the Police was doing an investigation report about body from the boat crash. I would have liked to read a bonus chapter about the investigations from the Police's perspective.I can't relate with the main character, Brad. Brad married his girlfreind, and settled into a life with two kids, with a job
I bought this book on a recommendation and I wasn't disappointed. I found myself picking it up at every available opportunity (I LOVE books that make me not want to put them down). This is the story of a stressed out Wall Street Lawyer in Manhattan who is married with 2 young sons and very disillusioned with his life. He has always longed to be a photographer and regrets the way his life has ended up. By complete accident (I won't spoil it) his life turns upside down in a split second and he
Although this book was written in 1994, it doesn't feel like that. It is still a very modern and fast-paced story about a man who wants to leave his life behind. The only thing is that Ben, the main character, doesn't own a mobile phone, let alone a smartphone. He makes do with land lines and only later in the book it becomes clear he could have had an internet account, but he doesn't because he doesn't need it...So, Ben wants to leave his life behind and how he does that, makes up the biggest
