Lincoln Rhyme #12....

I've been reading the Lincoln Rhyme series since the very beginning. I always thought that Lincoln was an awesome character and couldn't imagine living like that then in 2002 I suffered a broken neck and became a quadriplegic myself. It's amazing the amount of details that Mr. Deaver gets right, from the rehabilitation equipment to the actual feelings of a quad. This might sound cliche,but reading these books over the years has shown me that I can still be a productive member of society and I still have worth. So, thank you Mr. Deaver.

Now, about the book. I loved adding in the new member of the crime solving team. I wasn't sure how Amelia was going to take to her, but I like the way their relationship ended up. We got to see a little bit of emotions from Lincoln breaking through when talking with Archer. A true mentor. As always there was quite a bit of action and a great cat and mouse game. I'm always pleasantly surprised how the story all comes together. Patiently waiting for the next book in the series.

The author of Lincoln on Leadership has a new book.  In this book he tries to answer today's problems the way Lincoln would.  Using what Lincoln thought and said and applying it to today is pretty cool.  Really good book on leadership for today using Lincolns thoughts.

This isn't a great childrens book to teach virtue.  Its direct rhyme scheme and rhythm makes it fun to read to a child.

If you love Abraham Lincoln and his memorable sayings, then you will love this book.  Abraham Lincoln is the most often quoted of all the US Presidents.

I love any book that Lincoln Rhymes is in and Lucas Davenport . This is the first I read where both of them were in the same story.

I liked this one a lot.  Not my favorite, I think my fav is one of the first Lincoln Rhyme novel ( Bones) but this one rates right up there.  For the most part Jeffery Deaver writes really good mysteries with unusual twists that keep you really interested, and this one fit the bill.  If your a fan this one is a don't miss, if you have not read one of these books maybe this is the time to start.  It is a good read whether on the beach or in the car.

Great Book!  The Lincoln Rhyme novels are one of the best detective series in print.  Every page kept me turning to the next.  If you are a fan of mystery, detective stories this is a must read!

I believe Jeffrey Deaver is the best crime-thriller author of our time. I've been reading his Lincoln Rhyme novels in order and have not been disappointed. In fact I have ordered two more in the series and I plan to collect them all. You can't go wrong with Jeffrey Deaver.

I HAVE ENJOYED THE BOOK VERY MUCH.  IT ALLOWED ME TO BECOME CLOSER TO A. LINCOLN - MY LIFE TIME HERO.  HOWEVER, I THOUGHT THERE WERE CONDRADICTIONS IN THE BOOK - NOT ALWAYS HOWEVER IT APPEARED TO AS SUCH,  ADDITIONALLY THERE WERE PARTS THAT WERE DRUGOUT - (MCcELLAN DISMISSAL).THE BOOK DOES EXPRESS THE TIME A. LINCOLN WAS PRESIDENT AND THE PROBLEMS HE HAD WITH CONGRESS AND HIS CABINET.  I FEEL HONORED THAT I WAS ABLE TO READ THIS BOOK AND GET THE ENTIRE FEEL OF THE GREATEST EVERY - ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

The book is divided nicely into categories and is a good book that doesn't need long periods of time for reading.  You will enjoy many of the stories and quotations from Mr. Lincoln.  A nice compilation.

Once again, another book that's hard to put down. And another new character brought into the Lincoln Rhyme family! Can't wait to read his next book!

...with Kathryn Dance.  No idea why but the Lincoln Rhyme series has no appeal for me.  However, KD is a terrifc character.  Her interview techniques are clever and I love the strategies that she uses.  Not so crazy about her personal life story line but it's all right.  One of my favorite books ever is The Blue Nowhere.  I think Jeffrey Deaver is a wonderful story teller and I am always on the lookout for any of his books that do NOT feature Lincoln.

Intriguing mystery with a satisfying plot twist. And as usual, a few very unlikely events. An enjoyable a quick read. Just as expected from a Lincoln Rhyme novel.

LOVE it.... I had a copy of this 45 yrs. ago. Was lost in a shipment overseas. So glad to see it again.  I  wish  the 'Song of Hiawatha' was in it... the only negative thought I have about the book. However, found it in '101 Famous Poems'.

This is an usual story for Lincoln Rhyme, the quadriplegic criminalist.  He is brought far from New York City to the University of North Carolina Medical Center for highly experimental surgery.  While waiting for the operation, he and Sachs are drawn into the local murder of a teenage girl and the abduction of two young women.  After careful study, Rhyme's believes their chief suspect is young man know as the "insect boy."  Sachs strongly disagrees and shields the boy from Rhymes, her mentor, and the authorities.

The musty, stoic Lincoln of folklore is brought to life in the pages of this book, and in the best way possible... through his own words. Abraham Lincoln, we discover through his letters and speeches, was first and foremost an intellectual: one can feel his pain as he writes poetry about homesickness and the loss of a close friend to mental illness; one can hear his enthusiasm as he discusses the history of communication and human progress, to such a degree that he goes off on fascinating tangents; one can detect barely-suppressed anger at pro-slavery activists who lynched an abolitionist in 1838, or at the hypocrisy of popular sovereignty when espoused by Stephen Douglas twenty years later. I refer to him here as an intellectual because the defining characteristic that underlies the majority of these letters is the way that Lincoln uses his mind to both understand and make his way through the world he occupied. One can see him exploring new ideas, contemplating contemporary events, attempting to formulate political strategies, and so on; his cerebral nature shines through every page. I can think of no better way to get to know one of our nation's three greatest presidents (along with George Washington and Franklin Roosevelt) than through the pages of this book.
