Entertaining story - but please drop the politics
18. Juli 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I love Burn Notice, and have enjoyed the previous two books written by Goldberg as tie-ins. However, I'm still not finished with the book (about 25 pages to go) and there are at least three references to the Obamas already. Since the references really have no place in the story, it seems like the author purposely included these. Must we make everything political? I was sick of the Bush references in other media, and now here we start with Obama (although these are positive - which is a twist). The TV show has no political affiliation, so why introduce it in the books? I don't care what party the book is talking about - I follow politics but would prefer my entertainment to be just that...entertainment. Obviously Mr. Goldberg is an Obama supporter, but it had no place in this book.

Didn't read like the Burn Notice show I know and LOVE.

Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I agree with Dancing Mike, I don't want to read about Tod's political leaning, I wanted to read a store about my favorite TV show. This book didn't flow very well at all. It was choppy to me. The other two books I read within days but this one took me over two weeks because it just didn't read like the Burn Notice show I know and LOVE. I have read books that out of the blue the author puts in a line just to show their political leaning, it doesn't fit in the book but they do it anyway and every time that happens, it turns me off and I never read anymore of that authors works. I don't care what their political leaning is, that's not why I bought their book, I don't care and I especially don't want to read about it unless that is the kind of book it is suppose to be. I don't know why authors would do that because I know it's not just me that it runs off. I only wish I had read Dancing Mike's review first before I had bought this book.

A true disappointment...
13. November 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Goldberg's two previous "Burn Notice" books. However, I feel he really lost the voices of the characters in "The Giveaway." I don't envision Fiona Glenanne expressing such extreme admiration for Oprah and "that nice Michelle Obama." Of course, that was only one of at least five instances of Obama's name being mentioned in this book. And Mr. Goldberg also decided to let us know his feelings on the war in Iraq in several occasions in the book; again, he did this through uncharacteristic dialogue from the characters.
I wanted to read another entertaining "Burn Notice" book. Instead, I felt like I was reading "The Political Leanings of Tod Goldberg, Esquire." And I would give that book a pass. I am definitely waiting before purchasing the upcoming "Burn Notice" book, "The Reformed," until I can see a review or two that will convince me that Mr. Goldberg has returned to the form of "The Fix" and "The End Game" and dropped the political commentary.
Recommendation to avoid.
