The Final Twist (A Colter Shaw Novel) par Jeffery Deaver
Survivalist father trains two sons to become survivalists/agents for change, now investigating historical forgery the would change the course of aAmerican politics if it becomes law.
I first posted this review in the Grab a book and play Booktivity group discussion Where is your bookmark?. Being one the laziest people ever observed in their natural habitat, I will paste it here. It is as good for the finished book as it was for page one hundred and something.
Vote is 2.5 stars. The half star is an acknowledgement that the novel did its job quite well. It distracted me from problems. I will record it as a 2 stars book, though. I cannot force myself to give it a third star for the life of me. It is waaaaay to clumsy and clichéed.
I wanted gore flavour brain chewingum, I got gore flavour brain chewingum.
The idea of delving into the illusionists' world makes the book readable. For the rest, Jeffrey Deaver delivers business as usual: the wonder-woman Amelia is always there to make you feel that, no matters what L'Oréal ad says, you are NOT as worth it as she is; the super-man Lyncoln Rhyme is always there to remind you that a tetraplegic life can be full of exciting events thanks to an iron will, a stellar QI and sh*tloads of money (and that being tetraplegic has never prevented anybody from being intolerable); loads of innocent people keep meeting sticky ends just so that Rhyme can humiliate everybody else with his encyclopaedic knowledge and Amelia can overcome yet another trauma from the past. She must be the wet dream of any shrink.
She also has a name that reads quite old-fashioned to Italian eyes. I can't help reading it Ah-meh-lyah. The old lady at my granma's favourite bakery was called Ah-meh-lya.
By the way, I love Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme thrillers. They are reassuring, the style is not too flat, and I forget everything about them as soon as I close them, so I can read them every year.… (plus d'informations)

Ok narrators, do some research already. It's not Hop's solvent, it's Hoppy's. Hoppe is how it's spelled, but ask a gunsmith and you'll know. Not hard.
This is the first book in the Colter Shaw series. I found it to be interesting but a little disjointed because of the back and forth in time scenes. I will read the next book to fully embrace the character.
