BRAINRUSH, a Thriller: (Book One) Reviews
98 of 111 people found the following review helpful: ![]() By John C. Thomas (Richmond, VA USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: BRAINRUSH, a Thriller (Book One) (Kindle Edition) This is a fast paced, page turning, totally engrossing thriller. I started reading it on Saturday morning just as Hurricane Irene was approaching Richmond and the winds were picking up. I kept reading as the lights flickered. I kept reading even when the power went out and the sun went down. The sweep of the novel is amazing from one continent to another; from beautiful cities to rough hewn mountains. It has a bit of everything: terrorism, romance, science, and a really big surprise. This is my first reveiw ever and I have read thousands of books. I can't wait for the next book in the series. 65 of 75 people found the following review helpful: ![]() By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: BRAINRUSH, a Thriller (Book One) (Kindle Edition) First, I am not an author, but I read a lot. With that introduction, here is my review of Brainrush. Brainrush was definitely an action packed read. Maybe a little too action packed. I mean I like a good "alien leaves a monolith to monitor humanity" story. I like a good "the brain has more capability than we know" story. I even like a good hi-tech military thriller. I especially like a "let's kick the terrorists butt" story. But when you mix all these elements together it gets a little muddled. It's like the author had lots of good ideas and tried to get them all into his first story. The characters were interesting. The plot was well structured. The writing got better as the book progressed. Even some nits I had early in the book were adequately and plausibly explained later in the book. So, all in all, not a bad first effort. I look forward to more from Richard. No hard feeling here Richard... you DID ask my opinion :) 30 of 34 people found the following review helpful: ![]() By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: BRAINRUSH, a Thriller (Book One) (Kindle Edition) My eyes couldn't move fast enough as I raced to keep up with the pace of this book. I like international thrillers and this one kept up with the best. The premise, the plot lines, the action, the intrigue, the nerves, etc. all raced with unanticipated twists and turns. The author writes with the intensity and knowledge of a special forces veteran. Yet somehow, all of this adrenaline is nestled within a bond of love for both a lover and a child. PS. I will think twice about ever having another MRI---but you'll have to read the book to find out why. |
