I love Nelson Demille books. I almost did not buy this one based on the reviews I read. I took the plunge and loved it.

Great Book

Good but long and the end really dragged out and had too much saddistic detail which seemed to go on and on.

Good but long at the end

If you could sum up Spencerville in three words, what would they be?

The Villian in this book - and those like him - should be coated in honey and staked out in the desert.

Romantic Novel for the Man

I listen to this book back in the mid 90's. First time for a DeMille novel. I remember think that the ending went on-and-on, with impossible scenarios. But I couldn't remember the details, have liked much of DeMille over the years so I bought it to listen again. A word of advise, if you chose to listen to this one, don't judge DeMille by this book. While he seems to have included every possible narrow escape and chance scenario (to the point you are just wishing for someone, anyone to die ad end it all) his future books are much better. Maybe this was an experiment of character development, slot to sub plots and of course chase scenes. DeMille learn that less is more, keep it simple and make the story believable. While the story needs to be exciting, when to far fetched (as it is here) you find yourself saying ... boy I couldn't see that coming (sarcasm)

I think if it was any other writer I have given up and returned it. Fortunately DeMille does a good job of telling the story and creating interesting people.

Overall, I gave it a 3 cause it is OK, the performance is good, the story is somewhere between a 2 & 3.

To many 'close calls' the ending drags
