What's good about this book: fast moving plot with interesting twists and turns. The gun on the table in the first act does get fired later, as they say. Entertaining and diverting, I stayed up too late reading it.

What's not so good about this book: robotic dialog in which characters give long expositions to fill in details the author couldn't figure out how to work in any other way, making them sound like no human beings you've ever met or would want to spend time with.

What's really bad about this book: simplistic stereotypes of Muslim characters, who are pretty much all BAD GUYS, endless little knocks on anyone the author doesn't like which wind up feeling forced and preachy. Yes, it's interesting to talk about bureacratic infighting and how it keeps things from getting done. That said, speaking as someone who lived many years in DC (but never worked for the government) - I had lots of friends and neighbors who were civil servants who worked hard and did good things and were motivated by a genuine desire to serve their country in their work. As a native of the area I would think Gilleo would know better than to paint with such a broad brush.

As an aside, I really enjoyed the faithfulness to DC area geography - as a former Arlingtonian myself, I could picture the setting nicely, and Gilleo gets the details right, which is quite nice. I could picture the Merrifield Garden Center while reading the scenes set there!

This book started off good, but then it turned into a long preachy type of treatise about domestic terrorism. BORING. I kept reading for several chapters hoping to get past the preaching and back into the story... but finally gave up. I'm 51 years old, and this is only one of three books in my lifetime that I started reading but didn't like enough to finish (life is just too short to waste on being lectured at on your off time).

Neighbors ... do you ever really KNOW them and all their activities that occur right under your nose?

Clark Hayden is a twenty-five year old graduate student at Virginia Tech, who moves back home to Arlington, VA to take care of his elderly mother who has a diminished mental capacity, and is still grieving the death of her husband from two years ago. Clark comes home over the Christmas holiday expecting some craziness from his mom, but he did not expect to find out that she is being audited by the IRS. There is also suspicious activity in the neighborhood: missing neighbors, another neighbor dies, chemical use, and a terrorist cell is in place getting ready to strike. With the IRS, FBI, CIA, local police, a terrorist cell, and an elderly mom ... there goes the neighborhood ... and Clark is caught in the middle of the craziness!

Love Thy Neighbor is a fast-paced spine chilling suspense thriller that will keep the reader sitting on the edge of their seat. The storyline is a well written and intriguing look into terrorism and covert governmental operations. The story is told within alternating narrative chapters from the viewpoint of the two main characters: Clark and Ariana. The author's attention to detail is superb, he provides fascinating and well thought out descriptions of the inner workings of terrorist cells and covert governmental operations. The author takes the reader on a journey as the story unfolds, one that is filled with a lot of suspenseful twists and turns that keeps the reader guessing and provides a lot of food for thought. There are a lot of characters in the story, but the author does a great job of intertwining them in a cohesive manner that makes them fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.

I ordered this book based on the other reviews it had received. The story is intriguing, but the author could use a better editor. There are a number of speech-y passages, and some of the metaphors and descriptions are just plain cheesy. Still, this author has potential, and the story is believable.

Format: Paperback
I was blown away (pun unintended) by this book. Love Thy Neighbor is as fine a suspense novel as any I've ever read -- and the fact that it is Gilleo's debut suspense novel is mind-boggling.

This novel is smart and fast-paced and full of intrigue. The characters have depth and are believable. But the most believable aspect of Love Thy Neighbor is the story itself -- at no point did I find myself disbelieving the storyline or the plot development. In fact, I found myself completely caught up in Gilleo's narrative of the inner workings of a sleeper cell; how they operate in their effort to commit a crime that will have drastic ramifications for thousands of people.

In this novel, Gilleo is a storyteller of a terrorist cell (and their activities) that comes across as a completely reasonable scenario, which makes it all the more disturbing and downright frightening. Along with that storyline is one of a "normal" everyday neighborhood, one with characters we know too well, neighbors we can completely relate to.

Gilleo has hit a home run with Love Thy Neighbor. Any author who can write suspense that keeps you reading page after page, chapter after chapter -- way past your normal bedtime, until your vision is blurry -- is an author worth reading...and worth keeping an eye on. His books will be a worthy addition to your bookshelf, alongside any suspense novels that you consider the cream of the crop.
