A review by willriker
Face Off by David Baldacci
4.0
I was first attracted to this book by the inclusion of Lee Child and a new story featuring Jack Reacher to tide me over until later in the year....then as I read more about the concept of the book I was really intrigued to read it and see just how these "mash-ups" had worked.
I'm happy to say that they worked incredibly well. I suppose you would expect no less from 22, (23 if you include the editor David Baldacci), of the top thrillers writers around.
Every story in this anthology was really well crafted, written and put together...but on a personal note there were some I preferred more than others, but none that I hated or found boring. What this book has done is make me aware of some authors that I otherwise might not have read and I will now actively seek out their other books.
When you factor in that the proceeds from this book go to help fund the ITW and will ultimately help and nurture future writers it's even more worthwhile checking it out.
