jljohasky 's review for:
The Lion's Game
by Nelson DeMille
Seeing as I recently finished the Harry Bosch series, I am glad this series was recommended to me. John Corey is a great segue from Bosch if anyone is looking for fast-paced, thrilling detective novels.
John Corey is a typical, arrogant detective/anti-terrorist special agent. With Corey as the narrator, the reader is easily absorbed into the story.
It was a bit eerie that this book starts with a commercial plane being targeted. The plot does center around a terrorist attack, focused as it was. The original publish date for this novel was the year 2000, and the Twin Towers are featured as well as a description of the ‘93 bombing of the North Tower. That was a bit unsettling.
The only thing I really didn’t like was the whole John-Kate relationship. I didn’t like how they got together and the suddenness of their relationship/engagement.
For this being a 700+ page read, I flew through it pretty quickly.
