Title: Hey, you never know---
Product review: Baldacci is a 10 on story ideas but a 5 on writing style. The Winner is certainly not a "great read" but it is good entertainment. I never have seen such a range of reviews as this book has received---from 1 to 10 ! I can appreciate the disappointment of those that gave the lowest marks. Their expectations were high and the reality of the text was a crushing blow to their hopes. But Baldacci is really no worse than most of the "blockbuster" writers of today. You know who they are. This kind of stuff is good for the beach, the long airplane ride, and the ultimate movie rendition. Now that we know, we can accept Baldacci for what he offers----memorable plots and plodding exposition.
