An exhilarating and thoroughly enjoyable roller coaster ride with believable characters and heart thumping action, nothing less can be expected of the master that is David Baldacci.

3.5 but I might put it up to 4

I really liked this one. I loved the characters and I liked how all the different storylines came together at the end.

3 and 1/2 stars
I might have liked this book more if I had read it instead of listening to an abridged version. Lucky for me I realized it was abridged and I had a copy of the book and in between listening to it, I would read the parts that the audio version skipped.

Exciting and improbable escapist thriller about a gang of misfits who investigate government conspiracies. Here The Camel Club uncovers a post- 9-11 plot by elements within the U.S. intelligence to recruit middle eastern terrorists to enact their secret agenda. The characters aren't very believable, but they're quirky and interesting. The tension and escalating plot really do keep you reading to the last of the 700-odd pages. This is probably the second thriller I've ever read. It was fun, if a little hyperbolic.
