 Definitely a five star read, July 24, 2008 |
|
I really enjoyed this book tremendously, intelligent writing, interesting and intricate plot, excellent character development, and most of all, quite believable!
I highly recommend this one especially if you are an adventure-thriller fan. The way the various geographical events are tied in make for a fascinating reading. |

A Wild, Wonderful Book Ride, July 19, 2008 |

This is what a thriller should be!
Enjoyment plus education--"The Whole Truth" brings you into the military arms world and the interesting new field of perception management (making "truth" for a wealthy client by manipulating the media, especially via the Internet). In his recent bestseller (TWT), Baldacci serves a literary feast of: 1) fast-paced action around the Globe; 2) sharp, clever sentences like "Those experiences gave him armor for skin."; 3) Revenge served hot when the lover of Shaw (an elite anti-terrorist operator of the US Govt) is killed as collateral damage by the CEO of Ares Corporation, the maker of high-dollar military arms---Shaw begins his personal mission to collect the ultimate revenge. All the security a billionaire can afford cannot protect the CEO from the death sentence Shaw has given him. Baldacci deserves five stars for TWT & I give it to him! |
 Baldacci can do better, July 19, 2008 |

I enjoyed The Whole Truth less than any book David Baldacci has written, and I have read most of his previous efforts. The story is is stretch in terms of believability and it is very slow to develop. If this is an effort to develop a Mitch Rapp(Vince Flynn) type character, it was a failure. |

Really good read!!, July 18, 2008 |
|
I always love his books and this one is no exception. I sent the last two to my husband in Iraq and told him to pass it on when he was done with it to whoever wanted it, and it made it all over the base. This one is going there too, in the next box. This is a book that I did not want to put down and was sad when it was over. Even if you have not read the last two, this is a prequel and stands alone without the others. |

Fast paced thriller, July 17, 2008 |

Baldacci sure has been pumping them out lately but this is the best of the lot. An arms magnate uses the media to generate potential world conflict and a change in world order. A small group battle to expose 'the whole truth'..
So far nothing new and I have read many variations on the plot for years. So why four stars? Well, for one it is a page turner, it also has strong characters (most of whom are flawed in some way), entertaining bad guys and sufficient twists to move away from the well trod path of the these types of thrillers. You don't dwell on the slightly flakey aspects of the plot because the story whips you along. The themes of media control and perception management seem daft until you remember that the invasion of Iraq was based on 'facts' that were incorrect.... |
