I've read many reviews of this book and am relieved to discover I'm not the only one who's dissatisfied with it. Apparently a lot of people are ticked off with the author's radical right wing agenda and his portrayal of liberals and Democrats as the source of all that is evil in our country. Righ...

"Meh" is how I feel about this book. I was hoping to love it given the female delta team concept, but I found it predicable without enough character development for me to get into it anyway. I didn't like how all 4 girls were introduced in quick back-to-back descriptions instead of through the pr...

This book may have passed for a decent, somewhat badly written yet still entertaining, espionage thriller. However, any chance the book had was ruined by the fact that it functioned better as a piece of right wing propaganda than as a piece of entertainment.I don't really care what Brad Thor's po...
This is for the Audible Version:What did you love best about State of the Union? Love is a big word. I enjoyed the majority of State of the Union. The plot was interesting, character development for the key players was done effectively, and the overall pace was perfect for a book in this particu...
Starting to read this book I wanted to love it however, it never really picked up for me. The sign of a fantastic thriller is the desire to stay up much later than you ought to trying to fly through the book as quickly as possible. This is done to see how all of the crazy situations are resolved....
