Average Rating:
 Rating: - Warm Up to Oliver...Took a while to warm up to the characters, but then it was a pretty easy read. Different sort of personalities, generally untypical in an action/intrigue sort of novel. I found the club participants interesting. Does seem like this book does best in terms of setting a foundation for the other couple Camel Club books. Not a whole lot "happens." Typical solving and uncovering of a crime... took a while for me to make it thru the first 100 pages. Rating:  - Blah, unfortunatelyWell - i kept seeing these Baldacci books, and figured i'd give them a try. I started with the one, forget the title, where Stone teams up with the female who reunites with her father, who is being hunted by the casino boss guy...well, that was a solid book, so i thought i'd backtrack and read some earlier ones by Baldacci. The Simple Truth was also a worthy effort. But then, i read Camel Club - i was curious as to the origins of Oliver Stone and his little band of friends. This book was average. ...

He's tempted to coast the rest of the way through his career, until a "suicide" that seems too cut-and-dried has him asking questions. Oliver Stone is a protester who has a tent in the park across the street from the White house. He and his three friends know more about the death of Patrick Johnson than just about anyone, since they witnessed his murder. The FBI is willing to write Johnson's death ... Read More Rating: - Not badSince the copy I am currently reading--at exactly the mid-point of the book--was found in a New York City subway car I can't complain about the price. This is the first David Baldacci book I've read, so I'll take other reveiwers' word that he has done better. All in all, while I agree with many comments regarding the plethora of characters and seemingly implausible plot line(s), it is a pleasant enough book, certainly an engaging beach read. I AM glad, however, that I didn't have to buy ... Read More Rating:  - Great seriesThe first book in a series that will make you want more. I will read anything this author puts out.
