Realities of Consequencies of Absolute Power

Although a work of fiction, one only needs to listen to the news or read the newspaper to see many similarities in the behavior of our elected and powerful leaders and celebraties. Absolute power truly corrupts. A truly sad commentary on the morals and values of much of our Society today.

Wow

Great book! While we saw the movie years ago, this book captured your attention from moment one. The level of detail and intrigue made me anxious as to when I would have the opportunity to get back and listen again! I hated to stop! Sorry it is over, Baldacci never lets you down.

Rich of characters and details

What did you like best about this story?

It's not a shallow story. It goes deep into the characters (yet, not all of them) and keeps you interested.

Any additional comments?

It is definitely a nice book to listen to. Scott Brick is an amazing narrator. It's my first book of Baldacci and I never saw the movie and if this is his first book, then the rest are definitely greater and I can't wait to check. A slightly less "cheesy" details and this books is close to being perfect.

Captivating

Great story. Could not stop listening - never a dull moment. Suspense at its finest. Narration was top shelf
