I've read many of Baldacci's novels and enjoyed them all until this one.  It sucked!  I couldn't hold my interest at all.

This book is simply not insightful.  The authors appear to be cheerleaders for everything green, with little critical analysis or perspective to make their book interesting.  The book reads like a laundry list of every start up and technology associated with cleantech, with glib statements about how "interesting" or "promising" a technology or company is, with no substantiation.

The bottom line is, you won't learn much reading this book.  Compared to real cleantech visionaries like Vinod Khosla or John Doerr, the contributions of Pernick and Wilder are simply not worth your time.

Look elsewhere.

Not to mention silly and predictable. Don't bother. There are so many good books. This is not one of them.

An unbelievable waste of time.  There's no point in finishing the book. I can't feel for any of the characters or care what happens to them. One of the worst books I've ever attempted to read.

I was glad I did not purchase this book, I am not buying books from authors I normally do, because they are not good enough to command my hard earned money. John's previous books were excellent. This one was too much football, the character was not created strong enough to suit my tastes, his love interest was not interesting. Nothing was 'edge of your seat' interesting. Too bad, I like most of his books, this one made me glad I didn't bother owning it. I listened to it on Cd in my car, had I been reading it, I would have put it down and not bothered after the first 4-5 chapters.

Content is weak and uninteresting.  Read the book half way and ditched it to save myself time.  Do yourself a favor and save your $.

A terrible read, my guess is 2nd grade reading level.  The useful information contained in this book, which IS good information, could easily be condensed into 20 or 30 pages, with examples and charts.  The rest was a completely frustrating waste of time.  I started skipping the bits about him and his wife, it felt tacked on and useless.  I hope they got divorced at the end.

If you want a good story, you'll be disappointed.

If you want an efficient conveyance of useful information, you'll be disappointed.

I've never physically attacked a book before this nightmare crossed my desk.

Don't bother with this book. I wanted to like this book,I really did. And after reading most of the reviews on here,I thought it would be worth the 10 bucks. It's really not. The recipe book that came with the baby bullet had better recipes than this...True I mainly looked at the recipes for the 6 month age range,but I glanced at the rest of the book and the recipes didn't seem much better. There aren't enough pictures(I'm a visual person). There's not enough variety,or anything I couldn't find on pinterest. Plus,like many others said,the author's choice of ingredients is questionable. There was not one recipe(from the 6month age group) that I hadn't already made or thought about making yet..ugh

Don't bother.  One of the absolutely worst books I have ever had the misfortune of reading.  The author's glibness was off-putting.  I soldiered on...hope somebody else thought this was entertaining/interesting/fascinating...I didn't.

Save your time and don't bother with this book. It's one of the most predictable and poorly plotted stories I've ever read. The characters are one-dimensional and imho, insipid and unbelievable--quirky does not make well-written characters!  The plot is predictable, and the author apparently had to include a murder and unbelievable supporting characters to add *color* I guess.  There is so much wrong with this book - I'm sorry I wasted the time reading the beginning of it, although I did end up flipping to some of the other pages to see if it improved-- it did NOT.  I ended up just going to the last few pages, which didn't help my opinion of this book at all!  The book was free at a "book table" that was set out in front of the school. I'm so glad I didn't pay money for this.  The book is now in the recycle trash can with a grade of D- written on the title page. While I do admire people who can write well, that isn't the case here.

I wish I had read the reviews first.  This a terrible book. I am an experienced programmer, and thought the beginning book would be an easy transition into C#,  but like the other reviews, the analogies are terrible and the examples are worse.  I quit after 200 pages.  Don't waste your time.

Thank goodness I didn't purchase this book. I checked it out from the library. Although I've read less than 50 pages, I am returning it today.  The story line is so predictable and exhausting to read. I've been a huge fan of the "In Death" series, but my interest is over.

This is my first Amazon review even though I've been a customer almost from the beginning, but this book was so bad I felt compelled to write a review to counter all the positive reviews for this work. As a previous one star reviewer stated, if you like reading religious books this might be to your liking. Or maybe not, if you can't stand amateurish writing. If you sample this book, don't be fooled by the first chapters, it gets really bad really quickly after the end of the sample. This book reads like an attempt from a high school student, a C student. Character development is non-existent, phrasing is trite and situations are so contrived they're often predictable yet the author goes at length to lecture you on it. Add to that frequent proselytizing and moralizing and you have one of the worst books I've ever read, and I've read quite a number since I got my Kindle. There is a reason why mainstream publishers won't touch some of these works, a good reason. Save your bucks and particularly your precious reading time, avoid this book.
