Be prepared to read this book in one sitting or over a weekend. It's tough to put down once you start reading.

Whether you agree with it or not, the Point Guard system developed by the main character, Mike Lane, is an interesting idea. In the book, it acts almost as the "Macguffin" around which all the action centers. There is murder, mystery, romance, political intrigue even a great local setting for those of us in the Philadelphia area. You can't help but turn the page to see just exactly this thing resolves itself or does it really end at all? You'll have to read it yourself to find out.

Congratulations to Mr. Sprague on a great first novel. While it's still fairly new on the shelves, I have a feeling The Point Guard will be earning points through word of mouth and will soon be the talk of the town. Order your copy today...it's a great read.

I truly enjoyed reading The Point Guard! There were many unexpected twists and turns in the plot which held my interest throughout the book. It contained mystery, suspence, surprise, along with a touch of romance. It was an interesting plot which was written in a way that I found myself anxious to see what was going to happen next - and I never guessed it right! Being from Philadelphia, I also enjoyed some of the references made to the city. Excellent book!!

Once you pick up this book, you will find it hard to put down. I could not turn the pages fast enough to find out what was going to happen next. Full of suspence, mystery, murder and romance this book really kept my interest.

I love his style of writing. I found it very easy to read. I would HIGHLY recomend this book to everyone. I must say it is the BEST novel I have ever read!

New author really hits a home run. I was referred to this new book by a friend, and found that once I started reading The Point Guard, I had to finish. If you like Grisham or Flynn, you will love this book. Thought provoking and insightful views of our legal system and its shortcomings and the political mayhem involved.

I have already recommended this book to three of my closest friends who I know appreciate a realistic novel.

Great Job Mr. Sprague!

Great plot, fast moving with unexpected twists and turns. This book would make a great movie!

I am a fan of romance, mystery, and political suspense novels and I have to say that this book covered it all. There was PLENTY of mystery sprinkled with romance as well. I found all the twists and turns to be intriguing. It is a real page turner. I had a hard time putting it down. The fact that it is based in Philadelphia made it even more fun (being a Philly girl). I also think that author Edwin J. Sprague may have something with this "point system". I whole heartedly recommend reading this book!! It won't take long (you won't be able to put it down). I am looking forward to reading more books by this author.

This book had captured my interest from the start, it was thrilling, full of suspense, romantic and thought provoking. I had a hard time putting the Point Guard down. It was Well Written! I enjoyed the setting in Philadelphia, it was quite exciting being familar with all the different places that were mentioned in the book. This is definitely a read that will bring great amount of discussion to my book club.
