Fine Lines by Jim Lehrer
15 Sep 2000
Format:Hardcover
This is one of the best books I have read. If you like to read about crime, with some politics and humor thrown in, this is it. One eyed Mack, who is the Lieutenant Governor of Oklahoma, who has a wife that owns Jackiemarts and who won the Chocolate Fork award, provide a book full of entertainment. I don't want to give away details. READ THE BOOK. It was so good. I never dreamt Jim Lehrer wrote so many books. There are 6 books featuring One eyed Mack and I can't wait to read the others.
good plot, not-so-great narration
15 Jan 2005
Format:Hardcover
In one of his earliest book (released in 1994), Jim shows signs of an author struggling to find a narrative style of his own. The plot, though a very original and well-played out one is marred by lacklustre narration at times. In particular, the use of the exact same sentences over and over again (eg. "After all he is my son") seems a bit tedious. Apart from that, the book is fast paced and will certainly keep the reader's interest alive.
It is stunning what 10 years of experience can do for one's narrative skills. In his more recent book (Flying Crows), Jim provides an absolutely captivating narrative style.
Readers looking for a good mystery novel will not be disappointed, but if you got hold of this book after reading Lehrer's more recent books, this will not stand up to expectations.
