The Target by David Baldacci

scottpm's review against another edition

Sometimes too much action is a bad thing. The book suffered from too many plot lines. For me that really slowed down the pace of the book. I also never got fully invested in the story so as each plot line wrapped up I was never satisfied. I enjoy reading Mr Baldacci and especially the Robie and Reel team, so I cant wait for the next in the series.

I read the reviews before plunging in. I enjoyed it. The intelligence community life span is quite short.
I was curious about one thing, how does a sniper's life become this interesting. I thought all they did was fire shots from long distance and run as fast as possible to avoid capture. But there's a book series on sniper's activity (3 books), Cool. 4 stars.

This was more of a 4 1/2 stars for me. There was some rough stuff in this book with the North Korea angle and information about Jessica's past. But I'm really liking the interactions between Will Robie and Jessica, and it was interesting how all the threads intersected.

Dit lees ik duizend keer liever dan zijn Jack Reacher-kloon (John Puller). De Robie serie heeft een veel originelere invalshoek en is daardoor ook veel meeslepender. Het verhaal is een continuë stroom van actie, en de nevenelementen van het verhaal worden als een rode draad mooi mee verwerkt. Op naar aflevering vier.

Loved this book. A somewhat surprise ending, but not completely. Lots of stuff going on and learning more about Reel.

I love it! However, some of it did disturb me, that has never happened with a baldacci book before.

This was another fun adventure in the Will Robie universe.  Another story where it had some twists and turns that at times kept you wondering where it was going.  Parts of it made  you wonder how it would tie into the main story but overall the story was fun.  I enjoyed it.
