This book was put into my hands by a daughter with her high recommendation. I have heard of page burners before but I had never read one until now.

I spent the night with this book and absolutely could not put it down. It was positively the most exciting story I have ever encountered. I could not wait to get to the next page. I was amazed, excited by the plot, and in high anticipation as to where the story would take me next. I consider myself smarter than the average bear but I was not able to predict this story from the get-go.

Wes MacGregor, the star of this story, was everything I would want in a real he-man. I could see Bruce Willis in this part every step of the way. It was exciting imagery and the author, Jay Farrington, for a first book really made this story live. It is so plausible it was scary. This could happen!

Great book. Hope there is more where this came from as I will be the first person in line to get another.

A great read w/a uncomfortably plausible story line. Just the fact that children could be used as pauns by terrorism is terrorfying in itself. This book is well written and the characters well developed. Interesting twist throughout the book and a good, ending. Well worth the read and looking forward to more books from this writer.

Somewhere between reality and fiction lies the essence of Jay P. Farrington's compelling first novel, Domestic Terrorism. A real-life street cop, Farrington expertly tells the tale of Wes MacGregor - a street-wise law enforcement veteran whose prophetic vision of the degeneration of America's teenagers comes hauntingly true. Farrington introduces us to child armies who have turned away from their dysfunctional families, to gain the acceptance of a maniacal father figure, hell-bent on exacting his revenge on society in general, and Wes in particular. Ripped from real life events, Domestic Terrorism is a shockingly smart page-turner you won't soon forget.

The book was a page turner. The characters were well developed and the story had a realistic and thought provoking plot. With the recent events of the past year the story really make you think something like this could really happen. Domestic Terrorism incorporates tactical military and police techniques, while taking a hard look and the problems of enforcing juvenile related crimes. Domestic Terrorism is a wake up call for those who think juveniles are uncapable of commiting violent crimes. Domestic Terrorism re-enforces that those who commit violent crimes should be held accountable for their actions. Domestic Terrorism is a must read for any public safety personnel or those who are concerned for homeland security.
