The Terminal List: A Thriller

I typically read 2 books per week often in this genre. This is one of the weaker titles I've read. Obviously a first work by a new writer so perhaps this series improves as it evolves. The basic premise of the story is simply impossible if you know anything about the industry, product development, how it's governed, and how products are monetized. Thus, the main character's motivation is not believable. Despite the author's obvious knowledge of the character's background and skill set, it's difficult to get past the errors in story development. I'll read another of his books to be fair but I must say this one was rather disappointing.

I've read all three of Mr. Carr's books that are out so far. Excellent writer and love the real life experience he brings to the characters. He goes into great detail on the equipment used, which is beneficial when you want to do research on potential purchases. I appreciate the protagonist's being painted as a real flawed human being. I also identify with his love of country, attitude, driving motivation, and moral compass. Give it a good long consideration, you won't be disappointed.

Like a Tyler Perry story mashed with Michael Bay direction. Not my thing. I missed the lead up to when books started containing so much product placement. Holy hell, dreadful. Dont bother reading past the free sample. It's so vanilla that I couldn't finish reading it. This book appeals to many, I assume, but not me.
