The One Man by Andrew Gross
Not my usual genre, but this was a fast-paced WWII thriller that I enjoyed immensely. Audio was outstanding.
This novel gets high marks for one thing, the extreme tension that builds when the reader wonders which of the motley group of intended escapees is going to come through alive, if any. There are four things that are hard to believe in this plot-1. that the Germans did not know the significance of this scientist. 2. The incredulous way in which Blum finds the professor in the camp. 3. finding his sister that he thought was dead in the camp 4. the escape itself even though the Germans seemed to know all about it. At.the end, the atomic bomb build-up is treated almost as though it were insignIficant, and the genius chess player marries the sister, more out of pity than love it is implied.… (more)
Judge & Jury is more violent than some of Patterson's other books. The plot is less believable than even some of Patterson's other thrillers. But is was a fast read and overall and ok book
Good story but heavy on Norwegian and German towns and names, making it harder to follow. My least favorite by this author
