I'm the author of 9 Thriller books&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/The-Beginning-Whispering-Pines-Book-One/dp/B005TJ2PNW/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">The Beginning (Whispering Pines Book One)</a>&nbsp;and fell in love with this story and author quickly.

John Dolan takes careful aim at the reading intellect of Americans and does a wonderful job of spinning a thriller suitable for adult readers on all continents. His Mystery/Detective thriller "Everyone Burns" takes an almost washed up detective living on the Thai Island of Samui and stirs him into a boiling cauldron of breath taking troubles. All readers be aware this author takes no prisoners as you fly through the deftly created dangers and characters thrown out by this man's imagination.
For timid Americans, the accented author takes a few pages to latch onto but once you are comfortable, there is no turning back. You have to finish the book whether you want to or not. Suggested for mature readers only in both body and mind but "Everyone Burns" is a definite great read.

It's a good book, but you know it is one of those books where you have to be either forced to read it or VEEERY interested in reading it, I'm faling asleep every 2-3 pages. I wish he would borrow his stile from Robert Vieira or someone with at least remote sence of humor ... but as far as technicality goes it is OK.

I like the book would have loved the book but the book just stop. I hate books that leave you just hanging. If you are going to write a book that leaves you fill like you have read a great story not like you have no clue what just happen .

Well written but you pretty much know the ending from page one. The process of reading feels like desperation to finish just get the plot resolved. I've definitely read worse and given up halfway through. This I read to completion in the hopes of closure but not necessarily for enjoyment.

This book is fantastic but you have to be patient. Its a long ass book and if it weren't for the writing being so darn fantastic, I would have quit on it half way through. If you get a chance, check out the mini TV series of Wives and Daughters.

This is one of those books that you start reading and then, it's 3 am and you don't want to go to sleep because you would have to stop reading! It's a marathon book, meaning you don't do anything else til you've finished it. Suspend all belief and let it sweep you up.

When I was finished, I couldn't tell if I liked the book or not. Too be honest it's hard not to get a bit lost in the long periods of mental rambling, but I guess that's the point after all. I'm glad I have read it though.

I can't say that I LOVED this book, but I liked it and will give the sequel a try as it was a giveaway/gift from the author. I give this book three stars because even after months and months of avoiding finishing it, or coming back a few minutes at a time to chip away at it some more, it got finished and wasn't agonizing to read. In fact, some parts were EPIC and those are the parts that I kept coming back for. I could clearly see them happening as if I was watching a movie adaption and those are the moments that really matter to me. I like stopping after a moment and going HOLY CRAP.
The downfall of this book is that I started it forever ago and only just now finished it, so perhaps there is a problem with the pacing (or maybe it's just me). The main characters were fleshed out enough that I could still remember them even after weeks of not opening the book, which is obviously good, but I didn't CARE very much about them despite wanting them to accomplish their goals. Also, I think I would have preferred to spend more time in Kai's hometown area and in the 'finale' part where everything seems to happen so easily and quickly. Dragging that out a bit more might have been nice since the entire story is leading up to that moment.
Like I said, it was enough for me to continue on with the series.

First about that. Any lover of books will tell you it means something to know you're coming to the end. You read it differently. You know the author is wrapping it up and you set your mind to how things are going to end. I am new to e-books and it took a while to get used to not having a real book in my hand. But I have given in because it is nice to be able to carry my entire library with me where ever I go. But, I keep an eye on the percentage left so I have an idea of where the story is going to end. So when I got to 75% I was taken by surprise by the ending. Then the entire last 25% was filled with hoopdedoodle (look at Elmore Leonard's ten rules of writing). So I wish these e-book publishers would stop ruining the flow of the author's hard work - and from taking away from the reading pleasure of their customers - us. Stop the hoopdedoodle, please.

As far as my opinion of this work, what can I say, except that it was written by the king of dialog and prose. Read it. Just make sure you check where this fun read ends and the hoopdedoodle begins.

I can't believe this book is finished. There is a part of me that wants to keep reading and for it not to be over

Actually I loved the book until I realized it was a cliff hanger. It's so irritating when you get into the book and find you must buy the second one to get a conclusion. I rated it four stars, had the conclusion been in this book it would definitely been a five.

I enjoy the book but it required reading it in bits.  It's a lot to tackle trying to read it everyday.  Nice symbolism and story telling.  I enjoyed the audio version which had excerpts of the book.

When you start to read this story be very sure you will have time to finish it.  To put it simply all work, family requirements, and whatever other demands you have will be put on hold until you are finish.  Look out Dan B. because this fellow name Rod P. is right beside you!

You definitely want to read to the end, but when you finish, you're left dissatisfied. The conclusion doesn't seem to fit for character consistency.
