An Enjoyable Read
Baldacci is a writer with considerable talent and he is cosistently able to write a book that keeps the readers interest throughout. He has become known for his ability to take issues of a contemporary nature and place them into an exciting work of Fiction. Much of this is attributable to the characters that he has developed. They have substance as well as depth and grow as the book takes form. This book takes a bit longer to get going than some of previous works, yet once the action starts, this is a difficult book to put down. He takes on the question of Perception Management in this work. It is best described by a quote that is used at the beginning of the book. The quote asks the question, "Why search for the
truth when
it is so much easier to invent it?". In the age of the Internet and everyone wushing to be first, it gives one pause as to what is really true and what might be conjecture. Although some of what is written appears far-fetched, one must always be vigilant and in a questioning mode. The book is very well done and it is highly recommended by this reviewer.

The Whole Truth by David Baldacci
The best in a long line of great books from Mr. Baldacci! What makes this book so intriguing and scary, is it is all possible. David weaves in today's world issues, the gullibility of people to accept things without question and the power of Perception Management. This could all happen and no Shaw or Katie to save the day.

Great Story - get rid of the cliche
David Baldacci's newest novel is the
Whole
Truth
. The plot keeps moving and the story line is interesting. The world is on the brink of war. All major super powers are rearming. Armageddon is about to happen, or is it. The truth makers or masters of control are feeding the world with lies as truths. What is really scary about this book is how much I agree with the precepts of the world peoples being led like sheep. If it is on the news, the net, or the paper, it must be the truth, right? It was frightening for me to read this book because I usually am on the other side of the road when news breaks. I don't believe a word of breaking news. I trust the news as much as I trust a hooded cobra staring me in the face.
I suggest that every person that reads this novel take a good look at the reality of the manipulations. We have been led sheep for far too long. We buy into the enemy, weapons of mass destruction, the hatred, the lust, the wars, the politics, the fashions, the youth, and the list goes on.
The only failure of this book is the cliché of a bad boy black OPS falling in love. As soon as the book begins you know the love of his life is going to die. The wife gets killed, the kids die with her, and the fiancé dies. The bad boy goes nuts with revenge. The meat of this story is so strong I don't think Baldacci needed to bring the dead fiancé into the story at all. The cold bad boy hooking up with strong bad women is getting a bit old. The story is great; you don't need the ice-cold revenge.
