5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book! 29 Jun 2006

By Boof TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback

I bought this book on a recommendation and I wasn't disappointed. I found myself picking it up at every available opportunity (I LOVE books that make me not want to put them down).

This is the story of a stressed out Wall Street Lawyer in Manhattan who is married with 2 young sons and very disillusioned with his life. He has always longed to be a photographer and regrets the way his life has ended up. By complete accident (I won't spoil it) his life turns upside down in a split second and he finds himself on the run and taking on a new identity. Does his dream of having a new life match the reality?

You won't be disappointed with this book; it's very readable and makes you want to keep turning the pages well into the night. Enjoy

5.0 out of 5 stars The Big Picture by Douglas Kennedy 8 Jan 2004

By Mr T D Hobday

Format:Paperback

Quite simply one of the best books you will ever read. A fast flowing story, superbly written. I have read all of his novels, all of which are excellent, but this one is the best. Read it you will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Arrrggh! This book... 3 Sep 2006

By Mrs. J. L. Howard

Format:Paperback

There were so many things I hated about this book. How once I picked it up I just couldn't put it down, how I could never pass by without picking it up, how it kept me up until the small hours of the morning when I should have been asleep, how I kept thinking about the story when I should have been doing something else.

But the thing I hated most was how it made me feel. How I felt as if I was accompanying Ben Bradford every step of the way, how my stomach churned with nerves every time I turned the page... I don't think I've ever felt such sympathy and emotion for a fiction character and it's a tribute to Douglas Kennedy's awesome writing skills that made me feel this way.

Of course, I didn't really hate this book. I loved it and now I've finished it...

I read it at such a fast pace that it took me just 2 days but I know I could have sat down and read it straight through without once looking up.

This is his third book I've read and luckily my withdrawal symptoms won't be that bad as I have "State of the Union" sitting waiting for me...
