A crazy man dreams

A man has crazy dreams, in fact he believes he’s going crazy.

This tale did not hold me, I had to force myself to finish it. I made a New Years resolution not to buy too many books until I had actually read the hundred I have sitting on my kindle. This is Number One. Ninety-nine to go.

Two and a half stars

A sick, complex plot to kill the President is the subject of this book.

I really wanted to like this but I found it hard going, the plot is laborious, slow going and confusing. It’s a shame really, because the outline of the plot promised so much but it just wasn’t for me sadly.

Tried to read this. 150 pages in and still didn't know the plot or story line.

I feel odd about not giving this book a rating, but I don't feel that I should because I abandoned this book.

And I really, really, don't like doing that, the same as I dislike not finishing a series or not reading a series in order. (And that's not just because I have OCD like tendencies.)

It's just so slow. And I mean really slow. I had to push myself from almost the beginning. And I don't even have anything really negative to say about how it was written. It's a multi POV book, though most of it(that I read) is in the main character's POV, Stanley Johnson. His characteristics are pretty normal, the most interesting one being his suspicion, and some of his views on things.

I also never reached a part in the book where the various characters really connected.

It's just one of those books you know? I might even pick it back up one day and give it another shot, but it won't be anytime soon.

Had a difficult time putting this one down..... a governmental conspiracy during a presidential campaign and an environmental lab with questionable ties to the President both play havoc in the life of a widower who is facing hallucinations. What do all of these have in common? Keeps the reader guessing till the very end!

I think the plot was there, it was just a very slow read. sometimes when a good plot becomes a slow read for me I find it's because I'm too busy in daily life, but I just couldn't keep the interest going here. I hate giving a book two stars, but I can't do much more than that. keep writing and get to it all a little quicker.

Vulgar and disappointing!

[Barry · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was pretty good, a bit lackluster through the middle of the book, but it finished rather well.

Didn't finish because I just couldn't get into it. Poor Writing.
