The Hammer of Eden ReviewThe idea, at first blush, is bold and captivating. A fringe, cult-like group is determined to protect their commune, which is located in the backwoods of Northern California, from development. To do so, they need a credible means to force the state government to cease their incessant land-grabs. With the help of a geologist who's joined the commune, the cult leader (Priest) determines there may be a way to trigger earthquakes using a sonic mapping device known as a seismic vibrator.
Follett's talent is prodigious. He's almost capable of making us believe that this preposterous scenario is remotely plausible. But even his immense talent isn't enough to make up for the succession of plot holes big enough to drive a seismic vibrator through.
Example: At one point, Michael seems to be the only one in the state who hasn't seen Priest's picture on television. Because Michael encountered Priest early on in the story, he should have recognized him on TV and the entire FBI dragnet should have ended a lot sooner.
The puzzle pieces are all there, in formulaic fashion: The cute, female FBI agent. The cute, divorced male geologist Michael. The Manson-like cult leader Priest who, though illiterate, is able to evade the FBI repeatedly while driving a giant seismic vibrator that tops out at about 40 mph. I'm sure you can guess what happens.
If you're stuck inside on a rainy day and you happen to have this laying around (and nothing else to do), certainly go ahead and read it. Otherwise, learn macrame or origami. You'll drive yourself crazy second-guessing the characters and the author in this all-too-predictable bore-fest. Mr. Follett is far too talented to be producing works of this caliber.The Hammer of Eden Overview

Honeymoon With A Killer ReviewRebecca Salcedo was a woman used to getting her way using her sexuality; and when she met Bruce Cleland, a well-to-do 42-year-old bachelor, she knew she could get him to marry her.
Within six short months of the marriage, and thousands of dollars worth of debt later, Bruce Cleland would die in what was intended to look like a carjacking.
It didn't take police long to learn of Rebecca's statements to friends that she had only married Bruce for his money. And from there, police honed in on Rebecca, her male-stripper cousin and his sinister-looking brother.
Honeymoon With A Killerby veteran true crime writer Don Lasseter with retired District Attorney Ronald Bowers, details how a poverty-stricken Hispanic girl would grow up into a woman willing to kill for riches.
While I've found several of Lasseter's books to be good reads, I found this book to fall a bit shy of even being mediocre. The first 181 pages of Honeymoon With A Killer is fast-paced, filled with engrossing details of Rebecca; yet the remaining 159 pages is nothing but a rehashing of the first part during the trial.
As a result, I found myself skimming a big portion of the book. The only thing that kept me hanging in was the hoping of seeing a woman like Rebecca get her just desserts.
And in that, I was not disappointed.Honeymoon With A Killer Overview
