review 1: This book reads like an action movie script, complete with product placements and gratuitous sexy half-naked girls. There is just one chase scene too many - we get it, he rides away from the bad guys with guns. On a supercool bike. He barely makes it... It's an enjoyable read, but a tad long and rather cliched. I wish, as always, that we could give half stars on Goodreads. 3 is not quite fair, but 4 is not right either.
review 2: This was very dull to begin with, but as I had read a few of the authors other books which I enjoyed I persevered and I am very glad I did. The beginning is all about the main character, Andy Prescott who is a lawyer who does just about ok, he lives off traffic offences, lives in a run down apartment and rents a small office above a ta... morettoo parlour, rides his bike and occasionally falls off his bike, drinks beer with his friends while eyeing up the girls. Pretty boring stuff for the first 30%. Once I had got through all that the books turns out to be very good indeed. When he get a visit from a very rich main who requires Andy´s services as a lawyer things warm up loads.There is some action and thrills also. I also enjoyed reading a bit more about Texas, Austin is particular. So here comes a very difficult question. How far would you go to save the life of your son? I am sure most of you will answer anything or at least almost anything. This is what this book is all about. But you don´t actually realize this until a bit later on when things piece themselves together. This is another moral novel from the author Mark Gimenez and I am glad I gave it the time of day although not the best I had read from Mark. less
