3.0 out of 5 stars 2 1/2 Stars -- Preachy and Too Drawn-Out!, 24 Dec 2008
By bobbewig (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eclipse (Hardcover)
Whatever happened to the "old" Richard North Patterson who used to write such page-turners as Degree Of Guilt, Eyes Of A Child, The Final Judgment and Silent Witness? Does he exist anymore? The more modern day Patterson hasn't been able to write a book for several years now that can match these earlier efforts in which the plots were rich and suspenseful and the characters were multdimensional and highly relatable. And his latest work, Eclipse, is no exception. I had hopes that Eclipse was going to an "old" style Patterson book spellbinder, as the plot involves an American lawyer who takes on a nearly impossible case -- the defense of an African freedom-fighter against his government's charge of murder. However, typical of Patterson's more recent books, the author uses Eclipse as a vehicle to preach on his (often very liberal) political viewpoints -- in this case, the human cost of the global lust for oil -- rather to provide a well-developed story. In fairness to Patterson, Eclipse is well-written and he presents his viewpoints well; however, these viewpoints overshadow much of the plot -- which is too drawn out -- and the development of his main characters. It's not until the courtroom chapters that the book really comes alive and provides some thrills and suspense. However, for me, this comes about too late to elevate my opinion throughout the first three-quarters of Eclipse, which was just fair. All in all, Eclipse was just good enough to finish but not good enough to recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hard work but worth it, 30 Aug 2009
This review is from: Eclipse (Hardcover)
I enjoyed this although it demanded a lot of concentration as it is very complex. Not your typical legal thriller, although it has elements of this genre, it is far more politically detailed and the plot is very drawn out. But it is making very detailed and complex observations, about a subject (the exploitation of African oil reserves) where there are no simple answers or explanations, and this is described skilfully. Reminds me a bit of the TV series The West Wing, in the handling of a very complex issue with grey areas of morality. It makes me thankful that I don't have to be involved in making decisions about such matters, and gives respect and understanding for those who do.
Was not wholly satisfied by the ending though; the political issues seemed more important to the author than the characters. These were worked through but I was left wondering about two of the main characters' fates. Perhaps there will be a sequel...

2.0 out of 5 stars ECLIPSE, 27 Nov 2009
By Susan Woolley "Avid Reader" (Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Eclipse (Paperback)
Richard North Patterson is one of my top 5 authors and I eagerly await his latest books but I was very disappointed with Eclipse. I usually love the corruption, political infighting and the up-to-date environmental issues covered in his novels but found Eclipse to be extremely complicated and confusing. I may be being unfair as all these issues are much more complicated when set in the continent of Africa.
