Invisible Prey by John Sandford (2007, Unabridged, Compact Disc)

This was an excellent book that held our attention on a drive back home from Wyoming. Living in Tennessee gave us the chance to listen to the unabridged edition on CD's. Although seeming a little long at times, the story kept taking unexpected turns and kept us wondering who was going to be killed next.

We purchased this book as we have listened to other books by him and really like his work. In comparision with his other books, I would rate it at the top. The characters were easy to follow, and although some were a little different, they all had a purpose in the story.

If you like realistic detective, crime solving novels this is an example of how it's done. John Sanford is one of the top writers in this class and he is at his best. The reader views the story from multiple character views (good guy and bad) and there are lots of laughs along the way. It's the kind of book that once you start you don't want to stop. I read this book in 3-4 sittings. Just plan good stuff.

John Sandford has brought together a thought provoking thriller. It is a great read ,fast paced ,a real page turner.If you have read any of the others in the prey series and you liked them you will not be dissapointed.

Another great story by John Sandford in the Prey series. If you like mysteries with strong characters with a great sense of humor I recommend any of his books. Start at the beginning and you will have a great trip. They can get descriptive in some of the murders but the books are worth it for the suspense and stories.

there are good story tellers who are NOT good writers ...and visa versa....but in these sad days of publishing..seldom do you find both, i was given sets of the classics starting at age 8 ...i didn't realize [nor did my parents that i had taught myself to read by the time i was 4....my parents were avid self educated ,intelligent people and encouraged quality in my reading material..the deal was a classic book for every average teen or child series book ....i eventually couldn't waste my time with poor writing by choice.when you check the book racks today i believe 90 % are formula romances and thillers. you could say that john sanfords books are thillers but they are definately miles above the average . witness his pulitzer prize!his writing is crisp ,appealing to both sexs, the characters are fully rounded intelligent unique people whom you actually care about and want to know what is going on with them from volumn to volumn...my vision is failing and so i choose audio books in the past 3 r 4 years and find richard ferrone very easy on the ears...as a child ,i looked for my "book package" first christmas morning..[my children inherited this habit!]...i get the same little thrill of anticipation with a new sanford at hand!i have found perhaps 10 writers in the past 25 years whom are worth the time it takes to wade through their poor juggeling of the language although i find some whom CAN tell a story..i usually wait for the movie with these writers and think they should stick to screen plays...my grand children are all avid readers and read above their age levels , in fact so do my siblings and nieces and nephews.and in fact my youngest son has been published and sold screen plays..his published work is admirable ,making him an exception to my own rule!please continue to stretch your gifts mr. sanford...and NO VAMPIRES!....best regards, stefani greco
