awesome read
These books (6) by John Ellsworth are mind blowing. I had a very difficult time putting them down until I was done reading. If I ever had any concerns with politicians, this last one let my imagination run wild. I consider these must read.

don’t spend too much time
Ellsworth has fallen In A rut of endearing some characters then finding ways to end them. I can understand trying to be realistic with villains, but it’s getting to be too much. Through with his books. But that’s just me.

I have read only The Lawyer . When purchased I did not realize it was a box set of three books. I have not read the other two books but this one was ok which is why I didn’t bother with the other two books.

Great Read
I have actually read this series multiple times. It’s a series that is worth reading again. I find different parts each time that fascinate me.
