5.0 out of 5 stars A gripping, clever story, December 4, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Deadly Games (Paperback)
I just read this book from cover to cover. It's strikingly suspenseful, and the author shows amazing skill in making a wild plot believable and scary. It reminds me of The Manchurian Candidate, but with a 2001 twist that could make any parent a little paranoid about the technology in their children's hands. The writing is vivid and brisk. This is the kind of book people reach for in airports right before they get on a plane -- and the kind that they hold on to and recommend to friends. It's several notches above any thrillers I've read in months!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ripping good read, June 18, 2008
This review is from: Deadly Games (Paperback)
The truth is: I carried this book everywhere for 48 hours until I finished it! Great pacing, and the characters are meaty enough that you want to know what happens to them. This is one of those plots where you already know whodunit, but you can't imagine how or why, and you have to keep reading to find out. This is my first book by Thom Racina, and I will keep reading. Think summer movie entertainment, not "litrajure", and you will not be disappointed!
