Total Control=David Baldacci......Disappointing,give it a miss.
A hi-tech company being taken over by another,an employee disappearing with vital data and then being blamed for a plane crash,his attorney wife frantically trying to clear his name and at the same time keep her parents, daughter and herself safe while chasing an encrypted CD,a mis-sent e-mail with the encryption key,a killer,corporate villans,the FBI ,etc.go to make a book with many twists and turns.But I didn't really enjoy the book.The computer terminology went over my head and drove me to refer to the dictionery.Furthermore,too many sub-plots killed any little reading pleasure that might have survived.By the time I had read half the book I was completely lost and later on I skip read the book to be done with it.I regret the time and money I spent on the book.My only gain from the book was learning a few technical terms and I can think of many more Interesting ways of picking up such knowledge.I recommend giving this book a pass.

Wild Justice =Pillip Margolin.....An Absolute Must Read

Here is my experience with the book.Phillip Margolin was absolutely new to me.My daughter picked up this title in the US.I let the book lie on my shelf for a while as my normal preference is for romances.But last Monday night I picked the book as a bed-time read.I popped up my pillows,switched on the bed-side lamp and settled down to reading the book.However,soon the unexpected pace and events of the book so terrified me so that I startled at every sound and repeatedly checked round the room to be certain I was safe in my cocoon.I was covered with goosebumps and soon my heart-beats were so erratic I decided to stop.Quickly and reluctantly,I marked the page,covered my face and tried to sleep with the lights on.Early the next morning,surrounded by the safe sounds of daily life,I finished the book.
Now,even though a whole week has gone by,I can still recall every incident in the book.The book is fast paced and the events keep rolling in non-stop.The characters are chillingly scary and the suspense keeps building up while the killer goes about his business with keen precision.The book is skillfully written and with the many twists and turns in the story-line you are bound to keep guessing till the end.I think I'll check out Phillip Margolin's other books.If anyone had read them please tell me your experience with them.And for other for whom the book is new I recommend it without reservations.Pick it up,be scared!Enjoy!
