Baldacci Surprise me, 8 Nov 2002
Having read The Last Man Standing and finding it to be a reasonably enjoyable read I stared this book with lowish expectations. Soon into the book I realised that I had seen the film of the book and my expeectations fell even further. However I wasdelightfully surprised at how good this book was. I thouroughly enjoyed it , found it accomplised , well paced and far better than the film. Absolute Power - Absolutely worth reading

A great read, 4 Aug 2004
By A Customer
I picked up this book because I enjoyed the Clint Eastwood film based on it. If you know the film, be prepared for many changes - for the better. The film is excellent, but the book is soooo much better. I agree with many other reviewers - it's hard to put the darn thing down. Highly recommended.

Excellent Read, 17 Oct 2002
I was initially drawn into reading this book because I recently read the superb Last Man Standing by the same author, having read this one I can see it was not simply a one off. This book was unusual in the respect that there was not one main character but several who were all crucial, as you enter the last third you wonder how it can all be resolved and that it what makes it so exciting, I read it in only a few days and found it stunning. His style is compulsive and his characters eminently believable, just in case someone is reading this who liked the movie...it is totally different after about two hundred pages so its all new!I look forward to reading the rest of Mr Baldacci's books as there are few authors aside from Ludlum that I am hooked by as easily as him!
