I have read and reviewed The Date Farm by Jack Winnick, I did think that I wouldn't pick up another of his books. There's no denying that they are good books, but not something I completely fell in love with.

Based on your review, I think I might give the series another shot!

A spy story with terrorism is definitely not for me. Thank you for a great review. It sounds like someone wrote a book based on American television series 24.

I love the cover art and how it perfectly captures the intense plot line of the story. This kind of story is easy to want to create, but hard to actually create due to complex story lines. I also like how there are multiple settings and characters that connect to each other. My favorite part is the suspense of the novel which leaves the reader guessing about how it will end.

I just started reading this as a sample, and within pages, I had to download the book!

I'm hooked already. I'm definitely a sucker for a good thriller or espionage novel, and this one looks like it's shaping up to be a good one. After reading your review, I'm definitely looking forward to it. Thanks for your review!

Excellent review! I am not a lover of this type of novel but your review piqued my interest! I especially want to know what Will does about the bomb. After living in the US for so long I am curious if his mind has changed. Thanks for the thorough summary of the book. It definitely helped me decide to read this book.

Hmmm...I haven't yet decided if today's BOTD is for me or not. I enjoy mysteries and thrillers, as well as realistic characters. However, I'm not sure if the content and storyline will keep me engaged throughout. Time will tell! Thank you! :-)

A thrilling read with mystery and romance while trying to defeat the terrorist sounds very engaging. I'd love to read this book. Thanks for an awesome review.

I just couple of weeks ago finished to read the book which premise was very much along the lines of current story. Reading review actually got me confused for a bit, because of how much plots are alike. So it seems I will have to skip this one. No offence was meaning to anyone.

This book seems to have an interesting and intriguing plot. It's not my first choice, but I'm sure that thrillers' fans would find this work magnetic. Thank you for the review!

Thank you for your great review, does not sound like the sort of story I am really into.


I am more into romances and biographys, rather than shoot em' up bang bang books.

This seems to be a relatively short book that could be picked up and enjoyed over a short weekend. Thank you for the review, you hooked me when you said that it wasn't too cliche.

It sounds like the author has put a lot of thought and detail into writing this thriller drama. While I normally am interested in this genre I don't think that this particular book will interest me. The characters don't reach out and grab my interest from the beginning so I think that I would struggle a bit to get into this book. So I'll be passing on reading it.

Spy and espionage stories are always filled with dangerous actions and suspense. I'd like to read this one.
