Both my parents recommended this book to me, which is why I definitely had to read it. It was very interesting, especially since I haven't read many crime books yet. However, I didn't like the ending and sometimes it felt like not much was happening. Some of the action scenes were really good, though.

I'm glad I started this book on a weekend because it was hard to put down and I would have hated to have to stop reading to go to work. It was really exciting, and he does such a good job of making both Priest and Judy relatable characters that you kinda had to root for the terrorists just a little bit so you could see everything come to a head.

You can't create a block buster with every book and this one is not bad it's just not as good as some of Follets others.
As usual you get sucked into the lives of his characters and there is the normal good verses evil. For a change you find yourself almost wanting the bad guy to succeed until you slowly realise he is nothing more than a power hungry psychopath who doesn't really believe what he preaches and just wants to get his own way.
It's a quick read and enjoyable, the story keeps you interested and the action is fast paced at the end.
Get past the first chapter that is not inspiring and things start to improve.
