The Payback

Bought this book a week ago and finished reading it today. Review? Hmm... the author's not bad, and the plot of the story is acceptable.

Honestly, my favourite author is Dan Brown and after reading all his books, there is no other works by any other authors that can really captivate me. Each book siginifies a master piece earning their well deserved 'Best seller' spot in any bookstore. Dan Brown is a brilliant writer with fantastic vocabulary. From the way he vividly describes a place, a location or an art work, he could almost bring an object or a building to life. The minute fabrication of details allows his readers to visualize the scene of happenings with unexpected events written at timely intervals never failing to surprise me. The storyline is also usually spiced with thrill and twists unimaginable. This is how worthy Dan Brown's works are and how much I love his books.

With such high expectations, I didn't expect much from Mike Lawson as there is a big shoe to fill. The plot of the book is actually quite good, however I feel that at some point the author is trying too hard. Many of the details in the story were cosmectic and sounds too redundant. It almost gives a feeling that the author is trying to increase the pages of the book. There aren't much twist in the plot but the author has included manageable suspense to motivate me to complete the book. I shan't disclose the contents of 'The Payback' in my blog as each book is the hardwork of it's author and I rather leave the exploration to the reader. I can loan this book to anyone who is interested though.

All in all, the book is good and definitely deserve it's praise for the effort made by Mike Lawson.
