Summary: A Thriller that Reads Like a Movie
Comment: "Dead Even" is the story of two married lawyers, Sara and Jared Tate, working in New York City. Sara had been unemployed but after months of searching, she lands a job as an assistant district attorney - only to learn the mayor is gutting the DA's office. Fortunately, she gets a strangely high-profile, potentially career-saving case. Meanwhile Jared is pressured to defend the same man Sara is prosecuting.
From the beginning Sara and Jared believe they're battling over a burglary case, but it begins to look like murder and a web of conspiracy unfolds that eventually envelops Sara and Jared. Then they learn, independently of one another, that the other's life is at stake. The threat: Win the case or your spouse dies. The more they fight, the more they put each other in jeopardy.
Talk about a no-win proposition.
However you'll feel like a winner if you spend a night with this book. I know, it's probably not possible for a husband and wife to face each other as opposing counsel, because of conflict of interest, but still this was a very good read, kind of like watching a movie.

Summary: Bad. No, REALLY bad.
Comment: I generally wouldn't take the time to write a book review unless the book was either really good or really bad. Can you guess which category this one fits in?
I think the actual premise is pretty interesting, which is why I bought the book in the first place. However, reading this book proved to be a torturous experience. The dialog is so incredibly unrealistic and juvenile, while at the same time being incredibly predictable - turns your stomach faster than you can turn the pages. You just don't care about any of the characters. The husband is whimpy and whinny and he's always getting beaten up (I think even his wife beats him up at one point). The wife is also part whimpy, but she's got a hidden streak of Wonder Woman in her, so you know things will work out ok for her. Their reactions to the situations they're placed in are completely different than most rational people would have. I fought my way through every last page, refusing to give in to the drivel, but I've never been so glad to complete a book as I was with this one. I feel like 3 days of my life have been robbed from me. That, and $5.97.

Summary: Good fight... if they weren't husband & wife
Comment: I am agree that this is not a thriller, but is not a book that if you put down you will never want to take it back again, the plot of the book is very interesting and I really don't know if husband and wife can fight in a trial, one as a lawyer and the other as a prosecutor, if this is true I think that that law has to be modified, maybe it would be a better novel if they will be only friends or maybe they want to get married.
The dead of Conrad is foolish and the end of the book is like a fairy tale and those ends I just don't like them, I like when the end of the book leave something to your imagination, something that you can end the book as you want.
