Title: Not David Baldacci's Best. At All.
Product review: In D.Baldacci's Camel Club books, he creates believable characters. He also creates believable scenes. In The Winner, neither is true. First, it seems that Part One was written as a short story or novelette. He could have ended there nicely. Unfortunately, he didn't, and the beginning of Part Two has the main character, LuAnn, making a decision that--given her independent spirit, not having a good childhood, and love of her little girl--never would have done. All of the characters are cardboard and unbelievable. The story line is contrived. Then there is the constant use of the words, "...eyes bored into..." And the worst phase--"...her breasts quivered." Breasts quivering?! Come on, David, that's for the newbie writers!Yes, it's a page turner, and that's why I give it two stars. Something is always going on, and you'll read it to see if your guesses are right.
