Summary: THRILLING AND THOUGHTPROVOKING; GRIPPANDO'S BEST
Comment: I bought the book because I love thrillers and have really enjoyed the author's prior books. I like this one the best. It has all the great elements of a thriller, but is also timely and thoughtprovoking. Not only was I caught up in the swirl of events, but I found myself thinking about the issues highlighted by the plot. In my mind, the book is not only about a kidnapping, but also about the standards to which we hold our highest elected officials (sound familiar?); is a moral character a requirement? and are we going to hold the first woman presidential candidate to the same (low) moral standards to which we seem to hold male candidates? But at bottom this is a page-turning thriller that will have you trying--unsuccessfully--to predict the ending. Don't worry if you can't; you will get there soon enough.

Summary: Another Certain Bestseller for Grippando
Comment: Though it lacks the macabre tension that drove his last book (The Informant), The Abudction is a compelling and entertaining read that will only solidify Grippando's status as a top thriller writer. The author instantly sets the stakes high: a female attorney general is driven to become the first woman president; a retired army general is just as determined to become the first African American president. To what lengths will these candidates (or their supporters) go to win the election? How far might their enemies go to keep them from the White House? Whatever your political leanings, you will be caught up in this riveting tale of misguided ambition and ultimate betrayal. Grippando doesn't creat the formulaic "good guys" and "bad guys" found in cookie-cutter thrillers. He creates real people (in this case, politicians), which will keep readers wondering just who the real good guys are. The result is a believable high-concept mystery/thriller with a surprise ending that makes for non-stop enterntainment. Highly recommended.
Rating: 4
Summary: Interesting-but not his best
Comment: I enjoyed the novel,but felt his other books were much more interesting. It may be that politics are not my greatest interest. Looking from a well written book you cannot put aside the great plotting, interesting characters, and surprise ending. He is a great Author and all his books will read well. I would recommend all his books for great reading.
