review 1: High on suspense, this novel had me turning pages until late at night, finding it hard to put down. I like how Gregg Hurwitz puts the main character into impossible situations and then proceeds to creatively pull him out of the mess. A friend asked me how I can read a thriller like this when home alone at night, it is just so good I don't care that I am alone and scared out of my wits. I thrive on the adrenalin. If you, too, like suspense you'll love "They're Watching".
review 2: Gregg Hurwitz masterfully creates and controls the suspense element in this novel. Surprise twists in the plot resulted in the story veering into unexpected avenues. What appeared to be a CIA espionage story become something totally different with a fresh take on "the perfect frame... more-up for murder" motivation. [return][return]However, the development of the main character, Patrick Davis, who evolved into another cookie cutter good guy, disappointed me. You know the type-- the handsome bumbler who can't seem to catch a break, but at the critical point makes all the right moves at exactly the right time. At one point, though, Davis does come to grip with something rather profound, though, that childhood dreams aren't necessarily part of our adult destiny, which is something I don't even like to acknowledge myself. That actually saved Davis from being just another throw away character in my mind. [return][return]They're Watching is entertaining for the adventure, a-munch-on- popcorn book, and should appeal to anyone looking for suspenseful read. less
