I finished my third Greg Iles book last night. "Third Degree" is its title. It was about half the size of the first 2 books I read by Greg Iles but, I think it actually took me either the same amount of time to read, or longer. It was slow to pick up in the beginning and had peaks and valleys. The end was good. It had moments of intensely fun plot points but, for the most part, I wouldn't rate this book any higher than a 5.5 out of 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the best.
I am struggling to decide whether I want to include it as a Recommended Read because, it just seemed too difficult for me to maintain interest. I sort of felt like I was obligated to finish it because I started it. On the other hand, I could recommend it, if only for the end. It was a good ending.
So, I guess I will settle for leaving it in your hands. I like action packed books. Books where I can't wait to turn each page. Not books where I am paying almost as much attention to what page of the book I am on as the words on the page.
Perhaps, if you are interested in it, borrow it from a local library instead of paying for it. As I said, the ending was good. Not phenomenal! Just...good. Worth getting to, just not worth all the difficulty it took to keep my attention on the book, in order to get to the end. I am not sure if that makes any sense at all. I can't really think of how to explain what I am trying to say. I guess, the ending is worth the dull build up you must wade through in order to get to it.
