1.0 out of 5 stars I could only read 1/3, very boring!, October 1, 1999

I have read most of John Sanfords books.

There was no Lucas Davenport, whom I greatly missed, in this book.

I was surprised that I simply could not muddle through this book. I usually devour his books, and, just hate it when the end of the book is near.

I would like to give this book eight stars! I am a John Sanford fan, and totally dedicated to Lucas Davenport, anxiously awaiting each new adventure. I was disappointed that this book was not a 'Lucas Davenport' saga. That disappointment lasted only a few pages. I found his writing style different in this book, somehow fresher. Sanford has a habit of throwing so many different characters at me that I cannot keep them sorted. Not this time. In this carefully woven story Anna is revealed in tantalizing pieces. She is the head of a freelance 'night crew' that shoots video of breaking news. After their best night ever-two sensational high dollar videos-things begin to go dreadfully wrong. One of the cameramen is murdered hours after shooting the videos, and unthinkably, it begins to look as though his murder is related to one of these videos. Another of the crew is shot, and we begin to see that the center of the the maelstrom revolves around Anna. But why? Could she possi! bly know this brutal killer? And what would make him do this to the people that she cares about? You cannot put the story down. This is a book to treat youself with, a mini-vacation. It will take you away from whatever problems you think that you have. If you like John Sanford, you will LOVE this book. If you haven't cared for John Sanford in the past, I bet you will like this one. Very much!

1.0 out of 5 stars boring, don't waste your time or money on this, August 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Night Crew: International Edition (Paperback)

I really hate to give negative reviews only because I don't like saying bad things about authors. Anyway, I read a lot of books and have studied 'novel writing'. I say this only to establish that my review isn't based on emotion but on analytical aspects.

This book is sooo boring. I read the first few chapters and wanted to quit but I thought I might as well finish since I've gone this far - what a mistake.

First of all, it doesn't get better nor does the tension steadily increase - two basic things every good thriller novel should poccess. Secondly, there's a phrase 'aw come on' and variations of that which repeat and it really irritated me. Thirdly, the author uses colons a lot and I've never seen this usage of them before.

What a terrible novel.
