 Amazing, page turner! July 9, 2008
What an amazing book. I really liked the way the author brought out the characters. I can easily picture them in my mind. The lead character SHAW had me rooting for him throughout the book. I hope Baldacci continues to make books with this character. Definately worth the read. I had no idea what a "PM" firm was and what they can accomplish in todays world. Gripping storline, characters are easily described and the book flows nicely.
Outstanding July 8, 2008
David Baldacci is my favorite author. I have never read a "bad" book.
Recommend his books all the time.
Baldacci does it again July 5, 2008
I always enjoy reading Baldacci as I find it very hard to put the book down. I say to myself, I will close with the next chapter and then go to bed, but I find myself keeping right on reading until the wee hours of the morning.
The Best David Baldacci Since Absolute Power July 5, 2008
David Baldacci's fast plots and intriguing story lines have made him a favorite author of my friends. I've enjoyed his novels - but this one stepped outside the usual "good, quick read" and captured the same sense of innovation and excitement I experienced when reading his first novel, Aboslute Power. The Whole Truth is very relevant to our instant information age, with spin doctors manipulating perception and blogs carrying news to us faster than old fashioned print media. A very topical and frightening thriller.
David's finest work July 3, 2008
This book gets several five stars ratings though I have to only give it four stars in the international aspect. I never really felt like I was Dublin or London or on the Mediterranean. It gets ten stars for timing, and five stars for importance and entertainment.
It is usually hard to be highly entertaining and important at the same time. Clive Cussler is the master of entertainment but he hardly tries to educate or sound alarms. "House of War" and "The Creature from Jekyll Island" are extremely important but hardly entertaining.
This book is easily worth several hundred dollars but I can't hardly do it justice right now because the Bushbarians and the perception managers drove me to drink.
While the author laments on the fact that bloggers often don't double check facts, he overlooks the fact that the Pentagon did the same thing until Reagan gave them the desired budget. The USSR had four ICBMs during the 50's 'missile gap'. There was a missile gap alright. Kennedy went on the air encouraging Americans to dig a nuclear bomb shelter in their back yards. Administrations running with unconfirmed information is hardly new.
