Without Fail-Lee Child

A real good thriller!
I was looking for some good thriller to read and thankfully heard of Without fail (thanks to internet)
Easy language, brilliant narration, nice plot and a strong main lead.Lee’s detective is not just a tough guy but an intelligent ex army man. Here,he is given an assignment to kill the Vice-President of the country. While reading try to think the way he does and I’m sure you will enjoy.The way he will include you in his thinking process is the best part of the book. Almost everything in the book makes a lot of sense and can really happen in the real world. There are no unnecessary details in the book to disturb the pace of the story and you will find it difficult to keep it down.
His style is a bit similar to Dan Brown as both of them start their novels with a "Bang" to keep you on your toes right from the word go.The novel can easily be made into a summer Blockbuster!
I’ve read Lee’s Echo Burning but didnt like it as much i liked Without Fail.
The bottom line is now I’m a big fan of Lee Child and will read all his novels!

Deception Point: Dan Brown-You will be deceived!

I read this one after the Da Vinci Code and needless to say, I had great expectations from Dan Brown...
And, he didn’t disappoint me!
An amazing, realistic plot with ordinary people, plus lots of twists and turns, will not let you keep the book down till you reach the end. As usual someone gets killed at the first chapter so you hardly get any chance to settle down. Here Dan tells you a story of deception at its gigantic best; thus making Deception Point a perfect title! There is hardly a dull moment in the book and his description about the people, locations, machineries etc are just perfect. It’s a story of a senator’s daughter who gets involved in a complete mess which also includes the most powerful man in the world.. the President of the US, and many other powerful and important people. Now, the real fun is trying to figure out who is the prey and who is the mastermind! Well, I didn’t get it right and I hope even you don’t get it. Trust me, it is an absolute cracker.

I hate to disclose even 5% of the story hence all I can say is if the plot excites you and you like Brown’s style, go for it. I’m sure you are going to like it.
