This was a book club selection for a meeting we never had..... so I'd be lying if I said I was still glad I read it. I'm not. I am all for reading books a bit out of my comfort zone; how else would I know if I liked it? I have read a different book or two by David Baldacci and enjoyed them. This one, however, had a government-based plot to it, which is typically something I avoid. Since I'm not an avid reader of government crime thrillers, I surprised myself by pretty much figuring out 'who-dunnit' early on, and was annoyed by the ending, all wrapped up in a pretty bow.
I struggled getting into this book, and found myself not caring a whole lot about what happened. This book set me waaaayyy back on my 52 books in one year goal. I know at this point, it's highly unlikely to reach it anyway, but all this book did was put me further behind. I'd probably read another David Baldacci.... just not anytime soon.
Did I like it? Eh. Would I recommend it? Probably not.... even the most amateur reader could figure this one out. Rating? 2 stars.
