Three stars is a good review for a pop novel, especially one about a kind-hearted serial killer. Not as good as the first two, but still fun and funny. You'll never think of duct tape and plastic wrap the same again.
We'll have to try again later. The 1st CD was scratched beyond repair. Boo.
As noted by other reviewers, the plot isn't believable, but that would be okay because it's nice to have a thriller without all the profanity and sex too often contained in thrillers (especially James Patterson). Yet Lee Child has great thrillers without the profanity and sex, so it can be done (and many of his plots aren't believable, either, but who cares?). My problem with this book is more with the horrible dialog. I know other reviewers say the "facts" aren't realistic, but I thought there was some interesting commentary about the drug wars in SoCal and Mexico. I don't go for the fundamental Book of Mormon analogy made, though; it seems to me that the greater danger of combinations is among the elite in the U.S., including bankers, financiers, and lawyers, who collude for their own self interest to the detriment of the country as a whole. Immigration hasn't always been illegal in the U.S. For that matter, wouldn't Lehi's family be considered illegal immigrants? They even had to go without fire in the wilderness to avoid the people who didn't want them there.
