5.0 out of 5 stars Very good read!, June 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Father's Day (Bookcassette(r) Edition) (Audio Cassette)

While the premise of the book my seem unbelieveable, the very fact that the 25th Amendment makes this scenario possible makes this book very chilling. I found it to be very entertaining and very hard to put down. I highly recommend it for an political junkies looking to get lost in something other than the current events in Washington!

2.0 out of 5 stars run, run very far away, December 3, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Father's Day: A Novel (Paperback)

I was sick with the flu this week and this book was all I could find. Kinda makes the whole concept of a benevolent god hard to swallow. Please don't bother to buy the book. The author is trying desperately to be Tom Clancy and he's failing miserably. Not only is the whole premise unbelivable everything about it rings false. The Governor of Maine disappers for a few days and no one says a word? Just believe me and ignore it. If you're aleady half way through it and don't want to read the rest I'll be happy to tell you the ending.

This review is from: Father's Day: A Novel (Paperback)

Those who ignore the past are bound to relive -- politics, greed and righteousness -- so what is difference with our current Congress and the folks who walk the halls. Entertaining, fast reading and leaving one for a sequel. Real life is about tomorrow's accomplishments and no one can predict. Excellent read -- foreshadow of tomorrow? Maybe..................
