Summary: One of Iles Best
Comment: I really loved this book. This was my 6th Iles book and I though one of his best. Many readers disliked the length of some of his other books, so at about 370+ pages, this was one of his shorter ones. It's tightly written (no tangents or extraneous characters -- another Iles complaint). And, unlike some of the other reviewers, I thought the ending held together very well.
Another aspect of this book that was outstanding is that Iles writes this book in the 1st person as a woman. He does an excellent job at this as we see the world and the drama unfold thru the heroin's eyes.
If you like mystery/action type books with great villians and interesting characters, you'll like this book. I couldn't put it down!

Summary: Holy Cow did this book fall apart
Comment: This is the first time I have read a Greg Iles novel and it will be the last one I read of his. Don't get me wrong it was an interesting idea but I felt it fell apart towards the end. To me it ended up being just silly.

Summary: Great Read, Great Listen
Comment: When photojournalist Jordan Glass is in an art gallery in Hong Kong, she causes quite a stir and, pushing through the crowd, she discovers the reason. The sleeping nude in the portrait could be her. The Chinese men who surround her, can't believe a model of someone who looks so dead on canvas can be actually living and in the hall with them. But Jordan knows that it's her twin sister, who disappeared in New Orleans a year ago.
She flies back to New York to try and find the artist and discovers that the painting is one of a series in which all the models appear to be dead and that the paintings are worth a half million bucks each.
The dealer who handles the paintings is the first person Jordan wants to see, however within a few minutes of meeting him, the dealer is dead and his gallery is in flames.
DEAD SLEEP guaranteed there'd be no sleep at my place as I read the book aloud to my writer boyfriend during a long and cozy night. It was his idea, as soon as he saw the novel was written in the first person, with a woman's voice. He thought it would be neat if I read, while he listened. All in all it was a very satisfying experience as we followed Jordan together while she chased after clues from New York to New Orleans. As my boyfriend would say, DEAD SLEEP was a great read, well in this case, for him, it was a great listen.
