review 1: Not as whiz-bang action-packed or break-neck speedy as the first installment. The "prison experiment" scenario holds few surprises for me as a horror fan (the genre to which a setting like that typically lends itself) and as an abnormal psyche enthusiast (I find human behavior experiments endlessly fascinating). But the characters are enthralling and the writing clever enough to keep me flipping pages long past my bedtime. The build-up to the third book has me even more intrigued. Can't wait til it comes out!
review 2: Charlie Hardie is the functional equivalent of a comic book hero, and I mean that in the best possible way. This is the second of the three (so far?) books chronicling Hardie's war against the secret group who actually controls the United States.... more Hardie takes an amazing amount of punishment, as usual, and dishes out even more. Though these books aren't, in my opinion, up to the usual plotting and prose standards of some earlier Swierczynski books (notably The Wheelman and The Blonde), they are certainly a lot of fun to read. less
