Another Page Turner:
Say what you will about David Baldacci, he continues to be one of the most consistant authors in America today. Occasionally he flirts with greatness as he did with his first three books.

The first book in this series, "The Camel Club", was so poorly written and the plot so poorly developed that I almost believed it was a spy spoof. While "The Collectors" shows a bit of improvement in style, Baldacci still has a lot to learn about how to write a decent thriller.

Since "The Collectors" was a bit better than "The Camel Club" I'll hold off any further... more info
